CSA rates of Pay
The RTBU have made ongoing representations to RailCorp regarding our expectation that all CSA’s that are
qualified in CSA 2 competencies be paid from the date of implementation. RailCorp’s position has been that
CSA1’s will be paid what RailCorp call a CSA First Year Rate for 12 months and then they will be paid the same
rate as a CSA in the new structure.
Today RailCorp put forward to the RTBU that all CSA1’s who have been acting as a CSA 2 for a period of 12
months or longer will be paid the CSA thereafter rate. This is a move in the right direction but is still unacceptable
to our members. RailCorp are still considering their position and we hope to have their final answer this week so
that you the members can decide what action we take next.
The RTBU believe that our position would be a sensible and fair outcome and could avoid a long, costly and drawn
out legal argument.
