RTBU calls for disbanding of TfNSW
13 February 2025
Members have contacted the 色狼社区regarding the recently published comments by the Rail Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) NSW Branch calling for the 鈥渄isbanding of Transport for NSW (TfNSW)鈥.
In a bizarre tirade against TfNSW workers and union members, they have called TfNSW 鈥渁rchaic鈥 and that is has 鈥減roven time and again that鈥檚 its simply not up to the task of running of our transport network safely鈥. The RTBU is claiming the new Transport Minister needs to 鈥渄isband TfNSW in their first 100 days鈥.
The 色狼社区will fight the RTBU plan
We all know any proposal to disband a Public Service agency would mean mass job losses in the name of 鈥渆fficiency鈥.
Any proposal to remove a Public Service agency from the state-based NSW Industrial Relations Commission to the Federal Industrial Relations System and its Enterprise Bargaining and the 鈥楩air Work鈥 Commission would undoubtedly result in worse conditions for TfNSW workers.
The call to disband TfNSW comes at the same time as the RTBU bargain its Enterprise Agreement in Sydney Trains, a process which remains ongoing.
The 色狼社区reminds members that we are not a part of the current rail dispute, as we don鈥檛 have coverage of employees working for Sydney Trains.
The 色狼社区is the union for the Public Sector
The Public Service Association will always fight for a strong NSW Public Service 鈥 it鈥檚 in our name 鈥 and fight against any proposal to disband it, whether they be proposals put forward by governments, or demands put forward by RTBU.
