The FBEU office has recently had reports of crews being TOLed to courier uniforms and for other deliveries. This is unacceptable. When crews are taken-off-line to do deliveries we are taken out of our communities and the network.
The FBEU is concerned that, facing budget cuts, the Department may make more requests for crews to do deliveries.
Has your crew been TOLed to be a courier? Has this happened at your station? Delegates should report any incidents of these requests to your SCOM Rep or Emily in the union office – emayo@fbeu.net. If you don’t have a station delegate get in touch with your SCOM Rep or Emily to make a plan to get one.
The AGM will be held at 10am on October 28 at Unions NSW Auditorium in Sussex Street, Sydney. Satellite meetings will also be held across the week of October 28 and dates, times, and locations will be published shortly. The AGM agenda is being finalised and will be with members in due course.
