Sydney Trains’ summer of discontent
The recent searing Sydney temperatures have left a large number of Sydney Trains drivers very hot under the collar.
The majority of members are now wearing the newly issued uniform, which consists of a dark grey shirt and black trousers, however it is proving to be completely inappropriate for the types of work members are undertaking.
The Loco Division has received a huge number of complaints about the new uniform, the inferior quality of the clothing and the ludicrous ban on shorts, and in response is now conducting a survey of Sydney Trains drivers to itemise all the issues raised in order to take them to senior management.
Members are encouraged to complete the survey, which can be found on the Loco Express website, and return it their organiser or fax it into the RTBU head office by the 5th of December.
