ɫ������dispute: Transport for NSW direction to return equipment

  29 March 2022

The ɫ������became aware last week that Transport for NSW (TfNSW) IT sent an email advising employees that “Transport no longer allows borrowing of IT equipment or the provisions to request this equipment for your home office” and that they now needed need “all equipment returned to ensure we [Transport] can accommodate the growing number of teams that are connecting again in our [Transport’s] workplaces.”

TfNSW has been consulting with the ɫ������and other unions about hybrid ways of working and its rollout, yet failed to consult with the ɫ������on this matter. The ɫ������immediately notified TfNSW of a dispute.

TfNSW has responded to the ɫ������and acknowledged that the communication and the timeframes could have been jarring. Further, it stated to the ɫ������that any employee who thinks it will be unsafe or impractical for them to work from home after returning borrowed equipment should raise the issue with their manager so a solution can be found.

The ɫ������still has outstanding concerns and has requested to meet with TfNSW to further discuss the issue.

We will keep members updated on the progress of the dispute.
