Allowing labourers to perform electrical work on Sydney’s train lines threatens the safety of the public and workers, according to rail workers. Rail, Tram and Bus Union and Electrical Trades Union members are fighting a RailCorp decision to allow unqualified contractors to perform work on overhead electrical lines.
RailCorp's new rules put the public, contractors and RailCorp employees at risk of electrocution and being hit by falling objects, according to RTBU Infrastructure secretary Gary Talbot.
"Railcorp is more concerned about lessening standard than maintaining it,'' Talbot said.
