Support Sydney Trains workers

Rail workers and commuters at Sydney Trains deserve better than the bare Minns.

Workers have been trying to finalise a deal for wages and conditions for many many months, but Sydney Trains and the NSW Government keep walking away from the negotiations. Workers have been forced to take protected industrial action to get the company and government’s attention, leaving commuters caught in the crossfire.

We ALL want this agreement finalised, and for the government to stop kicking the can down the road.

Send a one-click email to Chris Minns asking him to end the delays, and finalise a deal once and for all.

Just add your name and email, write a subject line and hit send - it'll automatically be emailed to the Premier, Transport Minister and Secretary and CEO of Sydney Trains.

Dear Premier Chris Minns and Sydney Trains Executive,

As a commuter, member of the public and taxpayer of NSW, I urge you to treat rail workers and commuters with more respect and finalise an agreement without delay.

The NSW Government and Sydney Trains have a responsibility to bargain in good faith with rail workers during enterprise agreement negotiations. A failure to engage meaningfully and respectfully with workers has forced them to take protected industrial action, leaving commuters caught in the crossfire.

Workers are asking for a pay increase in line with the cost of living, protecting safety provisions, and better work life balance to spend time with their families. They should not be criticised by the government, Sydney Trains or the media for asking for these basic benefits.

Sydney is already one of the most expensive cities to live in, and rail workers are suffering after a decade of wage suppression by the previous government, plus exorbitant rises in the cost of living. A lack of investment in essential workers on the rail system has created a worker shortage, with many essential roles unfilled. This affects the service Sydney Trains can provide to the NSW public. We are all suffering because of your inaction.

Our rail workers are responsible for maintaining a safe and reliable rail network, often working around the clock in dangerous conditions to get Sydneysiders where they need to go. They shouldn’t be left behind.

As a taxpayer I urge you to treat our essential rail workers with respect, and sort this deal out once and for all, so that workers and commuters can operate, maintain and travel on the network in peace.
