EA mtg #3 – Your future, our proposal – station staff and regional on-boarders
Today we had our third NSW TrainLink Enterprise Agreement 2021 bargaining meeting, held on Microsoft Teams.
The Covid situation has undoubtedly made us change our plans around bargaining in the regions for the time being. What hasn’t changed is our passion to keep moving, keep bargaining, and keep sharing info as you’re telling us an enterprise agreement for our people by our people remains so important.
Station staff and regional on-boarders – your future, our proposal
Why talk about station staff and on-boarders first? Because it is our customer facing frontliners who bring their own local expertise to create an outstanding and familiar experience for all our customers.
NSW TrainLink connects communities across the state and we know our people are the experts when it comes to knowing and servicing their own local community. This is why it is important that we see an agreement that supports this vision, for the future growth of NSW.
Our proposal for your future
Includes for our people who work on stations and on-board:
- Regardless of your location, same salary and conditions for similar roles
- A total salary package that’s attractive and simpler
- Increased job opportunities based on your capabilities
- Certainty around your pay increase structure
- Rosters that support your needs and the needs of our customers
- A career in customer service
We know that’s a lot to take in. So digest, ask questions, and we’ll bring you more information in the coming weeks.
The unions again raised their ‘threshold’ claim for us to bargain jointly with Sydney Trains, for a single enterprise agreement covering both rail agencies.
For all of us it remains being about having a bigger NSW TrainLink voice - having an enterprise agreement designed by us that meets our needs now and into the future.
