FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Unions may take industrial action over the NSW government’s overhaul of RailCorp, saying it is a disgrace that workers learned of 750 looming job cuts through the media.
Staff in middle management will be offered voluntary redundancies in a major restructure that will result in the creation of two new organisations – Sydney Trains and NSW Trains.
Unions representing RailCorp staff on Tuesday said they hadn’t been consulted before an article outlining the reforms appeared in Sydney’s Daily Telegraph newspaper.
NSW secretary of the Australian Manufacturers Workers Union (AMWU) Tim Ayers said it was a “disgrace” workers had found out about the job losses through the media.
He seized on reports that thousands more jobs could be cut from the organisation, with an unreleased Booz consultancy report on RailCorp said to have recommended slashing up to 4500 of RailCorp’s 15,000 jobs.
“We’ve got a lot of talking to do with members and their families who are concerned about their future – there is months of activity in front of us,” Mr Ayers told reporters in Sydney.
“Let’s not forget, it is the NSW government that announced 750 job cuts today, and 4000 job cuts coming down the road.
“They can’t expect no reaction from workers. They’ve been treated so disrespectfully that I think we cannot be in a position today to rule out industrial action.”
