MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

Question No. 1091

ACTION - Bus Drivers Rates of Pay

Mr De Domenico - asked the Minister for Urban Services:

(1) What hourly rate of pay did ACTION bus drivers receive during (a) 1990-91; (b) 1991-92 and (c) 1992-93.

(2) What is the current hourly rate of pay for a GSO 6 and a GSO 5 bus driver

(3) Will any further pay increases to ACTION bus drivers form part of the creation of composite wages and/or the amalgamation of allowances into global allowances under enterprise bargaining.

Mr Connolly - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) The hourly rate of pay for ACTION bus drivers is determined by the GSO level of the driver, the incremental stage of the driver and the pay scale in force at the time. The hourly rates of pay in the times specified were:

(a) From a minimum of $10.32 for a GSO 5 level driver in 1990 to a maximum of $12.69 for a GSO 6 level driver in 1991.

(b) From a minimum of $11.13 for a GSO 5 level driver in 1991 to a maximum of $12.69 for a GSO 6 level driver in 1992.

(c) From a minimum of $11.41 for a GSO 5 level driver in 1992 to a maximum of $13.12 for a GSO level 6 driver in 1993.

(2) Current hourly rates of pay for GSO 6 drivers range from a minimum of $12.49 to a maximum of $13.12 per hour; for GSO 5 drivers from a minimum of $11.80 to a maximum of $12.49 per hour.

(3) It is too early to tell the detail of pay increases that might come from the current discussions on enterprise bargaining
