QUBE Members Stand United 

QUBE Members are standing united across New South Wales in defiance of low acts from their morally bankrupt employer. The lockout of RTBU Members has rolled on as QUBE continues to hold Member’s enterprise agreement to ransom in refusing to let members work unless it’s on QUBE’s terms. 

Today is the second day that QUBE Members have stood solid against QUBE’s unwillingness to bargain in good faith despite having made an in-principal agreement on the 26 June 2023. 

The RTBU Locomotive Division held two mass meetings in Port Kembla yesterday and Newcastle today. Both meetings were highly attended as QUBE Members, Loco Division Members from other employers, and other Unions, including the MUA and AMWU, turned out to show their support and comradery. 

QUBE Management continue with their lockout scare campaign, hoping to persuade members to return to work, but QUBE fail to realise that Members are fed up with their bullying and deceit tactics. 

It’s clear that QUBE will stoop to any low to try to keep trains running, relying on Labor Hire, or even using Managers and Supervisors to work trains despite having not worked trains in years. 

The RTBU Locomotive Division is also hearing that QUBE is willing to break every rule in the book – Enterprise Agreement Rules, Network Rules, even Regulator Rules. If you hear or see QUBE breaking these rules, you should contact the National Regulator and the RTBU Locomotive Division. Stay vigilant and stand strong. 

Members will be updated as the dispute continues. If you have any questions, please contact your local delegate or RTBU Head Office.
