Transport Shared Services – Personnel and Payroll update
Thank you to all members who attended our Transport Shared Services (TSS) combined union members’ meeting last Wednesday 30 September. It was great to see members of all unions across TSS come together to discuss the potential impacts and issues currently being faced. Members adopted the below motion at the meeting:
The members of all the unions at today’s meeting overwhelmingly want to say as strongly as possible that they want communications and consultation held open for as long as it takes to get the reforms right, and at this point feel ignored and dismissed with regard to their inputs and feedback. We ask that the unions deliver this message on our behalf and progress our case by all possible avenues.
On Tuesday 6 October due to the pressure members have continued to exert, the combined unions and your delegates met with management to highlight concerns around this issue and voice the frustrations of the membership. The outcome of this meeting is that now the unions have been given till the 23 October to provide an alternate structure to management. While this issue is certainly not over, this is a major win in ensuring that consultation is not merely a “tick box” exercise and genuine contributions to this structure are taken on board.
Members in other areas of TSS are reminded that while the key issue at the moment is the personnel and payroll branch, this is merely the first cab off the rank in terms of reform pieces and more change is on its way, with Evolving Transport also on our radar.
If members have any concerns, they are encouraged to contact their organiser:
