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Nickolas Muir, raised the issue that although closed circuit surveillance equipment is available at stations it is now outdated and often in disrepair mainly due to vandalism.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.
