The RTBU has continued to advocate and campaign for stronger legislative protections for transport workers who face violence and intimidation on the job.
Today, new Victorian Premier Ben Carroll introduced legislation to establish a tough new Workplace Protection Order (WPO) scheme to deliver these protections.
The new laws will give courts the power to ban or limit people’s access to workplaces when they treat transport workers unacceptably.
Offenders who breach WPOs will face serious consequences of up to two years in prison or a fine of up to $50,000.
The RTBU welcomes these new laws to help keep our members safe at work ✊
