BUS DRIVERS WIN COVID KITS

All Thanks To The Work Of Their Union Delegates

TWU members had raised concerns after the most recent lockdown and restrictions during Covid that there were no measures in place to ensure drivers had adequate supplies in the event the Government placed restrictions or called for a lockdown in WA. Due to pressure from TWU members, a meeting was held with the Ministers Office and PTA where your TWU Delegates submitted a proposal in writing outlining a plan for the future as well as ensuring drivers had supplies for any snap restrictions or lockdowns.

This Is What You Won

Covid kits are being developed for all drivers to have with them at all times which include:

• Toiletry bag

• 300ml hand sanitiser

• 50 pack of alcoholic wipes

• Disposable face masks

The kits were handed out to every bus driver in Perth all thanks to the union members and delegates who fought for them. Drivers’ safety is always on the forefront of the TWU and whilst this will ensure consistency across the network, there are still a number of other items says Bus Organiser MARK
