RailCorp Agreement

They put our money in a safe and then gave it away!

Details

The Combined Rail Unions met with RailCorp again this week and they expanded further on the costings for their 27 reforms. We have asked that they provide the detail in writing as soon as possible so that we can all understand what they will mean for us.

Last time we negotiated with RailCorp for our current agreement they promised that they would put any money that they saved through Rolling Stock Reform and Station Staff Reform in a safe place and use it to fund the pay increases for this agreement. Instead they took the money saved through reforms that impacted our jobs and entitlement and handed it over to the Government. Now RailCorp is saying that in order to get a payrise for this agreement we need to cop even more cuts.
