I feel the differential in pay has caught up with SE, compounded with covid-19 shutting training schools which in the past 8 weeks has cost them potentially 16-20 trainee drivers and has left them in a precarious position. I believe that Victoria is short of in the region of that number alone irrespective of other depots, which has lead to an advert for qualified drivers for mainline- something that is never usually advertised for ( usually high speed).
They will be in serious trouble when normal running is resumed as I personally agree with the issues pointed out by other members above, morale is low and the T's and C's are at best vague and easily by passable within "grey areas" and the coronavirus outbreak has really highlighted an already contentious issue.
Then there's the issue of salary.....
