Update: NSW Trains time credit dispute

Last week we reported that NSW Trains failed to pay time credits to numerous drivers during a shutdown period.

We have since received positive feedback from management, who have informed us that they acknowledge the need for an approval system that works in a more timely manner when it comes to the issuing of time credits to drivers via timekeepers.

They have also informed us they are aiming for an emergency run for payment and an apology to the drivers who were impacted.

The Loco division asks that all crew affected by this financial strain please their bank balances over the next coming days to see if this issue has been rectified. If not, please see your local shift manager to seek clarification.
