Railtrain Newsflash: the workers united will never be defeated

For over 18 months, Railtrain workers have stood strong and united in the face of management’s desperate attempts to keep undercutting your pay and conditions.

As one employee said: “Railtrain will do or say anything to make money. They don’t care about treating people fair. They have a take it or leave it attitude.”

We know this has not been easy for you. For example, we have heard reports of management threatening to cut people’s shifts if they question decisions and stand up for their rights.

If you or anyone you know has been threatened or intimidated, please let us know.We cannot let management’s bullying tactics win. The only way to stand up to management’s threats is to stand united as one.

Australian rail workers have been standing together to fight for their rights since 1861. We will not back down, no matter what Railtrain throws at us.

It is important that we continue to gather information about what is going on a Railtrain and RMC so that we can continue to fight for the fair deal you deserve. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact the RTBU National Office on (02) 8203 6099 or rtbu@rtbu.org.au.

UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL. MANAGEMENT HAS NO RIGHT TO KNOW YOU ARE A UNION MEMBER. ANY COMMUNICATION YOU HAVE WITH US WILL BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL.

It is illegal for Railtrain to dismiss you or cut your shifts for belonging to the Union, making enquiries or complaints about your job or exercising your workplace rights.
