Wage offer

We had committed to bringing a wage offer to you before Christmas and after ongoing bargaining with the unions and the employee independent bargaining representatives since June, we are pleased that we are now in position to do so.

Our aim is to give you certainty as we move into 2022 and the offer seeks to give you, our people, that certainty.

I have met with the unions in conjunction with Sydney Trains Chief Executive, Matt Longland, and presented the following offer for our people:

• 3 year agreement
• 2.5% pay increase inclusive of the superannuation increase every year for the 3 years (noting this year’s super increase has already been applied)
• $1000 one-off payment for employees
• Terms of the current Deed continue for existing employees for the life of the EA.

Our goal has always been to have a NSW TrainLink EA developed by us, for us, to meet the unique needs of our people and our customers throughout NSW.

It won’t change the work you do, rather that everyone will benefit.

We will continue to give you all the details about the EA and what it means for you so that you can make up your own mind and vote when it is time.

Protected industrial action

Disappointingly, protected industrial action will continue at one of the busiest times of the year, significantly impacting our customers.

We will keep you updated over the coming days when we have more information to share.

Regards,

Dale
