RTBU fight to stop labor hire wage theft

This week, the RTBU commenced legal action in the Federal Court against rail labour hire company, Railtrain Pty Ltd, over the company’s systematic underpayment of Locomotive Driver Assistant employees.

The RTBU is pursuing the recovery of unpaid wage for our members who took part in a program called “voluntary upskilling”, which Railtrain has run since at least 2014 for people starting work as a second person/driver assistant.
