Region 7 (Ryde & Willoughby) Enterprise Agreement and other news

Firstly, thanks to the tireless work of the Ryde RTBU committee, particularly Ian O’Connor, Busway has agreed to pay the Uniform Allowance to ‘…qualifying employees, in the pay period ending 24/12/23.’ If anyone gets chipped about old clothes you have no excuse, and if you see Ian around at Ryde tell him “thanks!”

Secondly, again at Ryde there is a Workplace Consultative Committee being set up. Employees can only nominate themselves and must have their nomination seconded. The work of the committee will be to bring operational issues to the attention of management in a controlled way and to solve as many issues as possible locally. This is serious work and we ask that anyone who nominates understands that they will be dealing with issues that affect the entire workforce.
