Following Fair Work Commission hearings this week, an enterprise agreement for Queensland Rail Train Controllers will be put to employees in another ballot.
The offer, which has been agreed to by the RTBU, will be re-balloted without change to Queensland Rail's wage offer.
The agreement failed by just three votes during a ballot last month, with 49.5% of the 300 employees supporting the offer.
The Fair Work Deputy President recommended train control employees support the proposal, and noted if the ballot failed, workers would not be entitled to back pay to 1 August 2026.
I encourage both employees and the RTBU to support the agreement we have reached.
More than 5,200 Queensland Rail workers are now covered by six new and nearly identical enterprise agreements, which have been endorsed by workers.
