For parking fines, yes it would be a crazy thing to do, but are you including the speeding fines as well?

Yes.

They do not pay member's fines for traffic or parking infringements, nor any other illegal activity - of which there is plenty.

I don't know who told you this was the case but they are misinformed.

I worked in the industry for years and am a former TWU member; it is a ridiculous assertion.

Then there's no doubt that this is true for TWU members as you have said.

But i have a friend who is a member of the RTBU and he has told me that his and his friends who are also members, said that their speeding fines do get paid by their Union.

I don't doubt my friend but,
I'll see if i can find something to confirm this and re-post.

Looks like it applies to bus drivers done for speeding on the job (in buses? they should be sacked) as long as they pay into the 'traffic fund'. Mind boggling, I guess the membership fees are calculated on the number of payouts per annum vs membership numbers.

Yes, thanks for that, this is the link that i was just about to post.

So, my friends name is certainly not "Pinocchio" as tigertuff had said.😀
 
When they brought the fine system in part of their rationale was
That they didn't want the top players from the top clubs missing games at the big end of the season ( no good for crowds)
Its kind of an admission by the nrl that they only care about the top clubs

It may just be a false perception on my part but sentences for the so called players from "lower" clubs always seem to be far tougher than ones handed to "top rated" clubs.Of course you will always get exceptions to that but only in the most blatantly obvious disgraceful tackles (Mitchell on Manu).
