Wickham Trams EA Update

For our Newcastle tram operators, we are awaiting Keolis Downer Hunter Trams to provide us with a document.

As was previously reported, the RTBU Tram and Bus Division have had some movement in these discussions such as the 38hr week being averaged over 8 weeks. The company has agreed to reduce this to average over 2 weeks. This has been verbally agreed to and we are pushing to get this reduced even further.

We have also asked the company to extend the times of the 15% after hours allowance. The company has also verbally agreed to give some sort of procedure on allocation of overtime.

We are hoping that KDH Trams correspond regarding a solid document next week.
