That is what we all want mate, he problem is the government is intentionally muddying the waters when it comes to information. this comes down to 2 things.
1) The NIF (New Intercity Fleet)
2) A new Enterprise Agreement.
Regarding;
1) the NIF, the RTBU are insistent that essential changes (And being a driver, I do believe them to be essential to the safe operation of the train for our customers) be agreed to by the government before we discuss the new Enterprise Agreement (which expired in May LAST YEAR)
2) the EA, yes, sure we want a pay raise commensurate with inflation, the government originally offered us 0.3% then 2.5% (Including superannuation) both of which constitute a real pay cut.
NOW - The Government - They have said "We have agreed to fix the NIF", but fail to mention that it is conditional upon us agreeing to a 2.5% pay raise per year for 3 years, and some other conditions that are detrimental to us and also allow the government free reign to fuck us without lube moving forward.
They say we keep moving the goal posts, but in reality they kick goals about as good as Sam Burgess could then after they miss badly, complain that we have moved the posts, when in fact they are the same place they were all along.
Personally, I want this DONE, I want it sorted, but, so long as they keep trying to go in Dry, I'll keep fighting
