Region 6 Update

The results are in and after years of struggle, today Transit Systems announced that the Union endorsed EA in Region 6 has been voted up by 90% of the workforce!

This is a great result for members who have minimal changes in conditions from the Copied State Award after years of successfully fighting to defend their government entitlements. It also lifts up the newer employees in pay and conditions, and gives the TWU new benefits to fight for, for drivers in other regions.

Crucially, this also means that the rosters will be put back together, something both Unions will be directly involved with. For years transferred employees have been watching their work and job security slowly disappear and the main goal of the RTBU was to put the work back together while protected what we had. This had to be done without being at the expense of other workers- the RTBU is not in the business of selling out parts of the workforce no matter if they are members or not.
