News Iemma Told To Change At Central
Fed up with constant staff shortages the railworkers took their campaign to commuters last week, with a leaflet calling on the Iemma government to lift its game.
The campaign follows revelations that up to 25 positions are unfilled at Central, alone. Railworkers took Railcorp to the NSW Industrial Relations Commission in a bid to bring staffing up to standard Their leaflet pointed out that security at Central was compromised through a lack of staff to monitor CCTV cameras and that frail, disabled and elderly passengers were unable to get assistance when they needed it. Toilets and other public areas were unable to be kept clean, and there was not enough adequately qualified first aid officers to ensure passenger safety. "In my 30 years as an official I have never seen it so bad that staff have felt the need to seek commuter support to ensure passenger safety and customer service standards are maintained," says RTBU Branch Secretary, Nick Lewocki. "The state of the toilets is disgusting and a health hazard. "To leave disabled passengers without assistance is deplorable. To compromise the safety of staff and passengers in this day age is unacceptable. "If the Government can find billions of dollars to replace ageing infrastructure surely it can find funds to ensure adequate customer services and safety across the network."
