Q. 5 Industrial Relations & the Victorian Rail, Tram and Bus Union
The Victorian Rail, Tram and Bus Union have declared that they will
be taking industrial action against their employer Connection Travel
in an attempt to get more staff placed at every station in the city. The
premise of the union?s industrial action campaign is that a much
needed boost in staffing levels is required to improve security for
travelers across all forms of public transport. In particular, they
demand that Connection Travel and the Victorian Government
employ adequate numbers of personnel to staff every station
throughout the metropolitan area starting with the City Loop.
At present the union claimed: only 57 of the city?s 215 stations are
staffed during the day and this is not adequate staff to station ratio.
Although in the past year about 51 staff were added to 31 stations to
staff stations in the mornings while an additional 20 employees were
employed to staff stations at night, this is still not enough to ensure
the safety of travelers using the service.
Among its claims, spokesperson for the Victorian Rail, Tram and Bus
Union, Nickolas Muir, raised the issue that although closed circuit
surveillance equipment is available at stations it is now outdated and
often in disrepair mainly due to vandalism. He stated that ?station
monitoring and surveillance equipment needed upgrading? and that
?current training practices were insufficient? as was the ?basic first
aid training provided to workers?. He believes that Connection Travel
needs to get their act together and start looking after its employees,
especially since the terrorist?s attacks of 911 and the recent London
bombings. ?Connection Travel has not provided adequate training for
its staff to deal with such a major disruption to the transport system
especially if there was a terrorist attack on Melbourne?, Nickolas
Muir said.
Spokesperson for the Victorian Rail, Tram and Bus Union, Nickolas
Muir stated that industrial action will follow if Connection Travel and
the Victorian Government were not willing to come to the table to
discuss and solve their issues of concern. When asked to comment, a
Government representative was quoted as saying ?the union is being
unrealistic, optimistic and demanding?. ?Connection Travel would go
bankrupt if it had to provide for two hundred additional staff, as well
as training for one thousand workers, along with introducing new
closed circuit television and monitoring at every station.? ?The union
is simply asking for too much? the Government representative stated.

The union has put forward their argument to the public and are asking
for their support and consideration while their industrial campaign is
in force. The union spokesperson stated that ?the public need to send
a message to Connection Travel and the Victorian Government that
they want added security in the form of physical presence. Extra staff
are needed at every station; not just the major ones. This would stop
fare evasion and provide the much needed security for the elderly, the
very young and the vulnerable. This is a life and death situation.
Travelers on trains need to feel safe while travelling.?
He went on further to say that ?if the London terrorist attacks had
occurred in Melbourne; staff would not know the evacuation
procedures as they have not been provided with formal training and
emergency plans. In an interview with this reporter a senior
representative of Connection Travel responded to these claims by
saying ?All staff is provided with basic emergency training when they
undergo orientation to the organization. The senior representative of
Connection Travel went on to say ?evacuation and emergency plans
are located with each station and in each office and in the driver?s
compartment of each and every train, tram and bus.
