Carenne Support breaches contract

Last month we reported that Carenne Support had advertised the position of bus driver/supervisor despite there being a driver in the position already.

On Monday, "hatho" sent Carenne Gate bloggers a copy of the contract Carenne Support drivers are expected to sign when they commence employment with the company. Hatho claims that Christine Porter, Paul Knight and Terry Mahony had designed it to try and have a particular employee forced out.

Hatho says that they recall Lee Churches, one of Carenne Support's directors claiming that she had concerns about the contract where Carenne Support had tried to place responsibility back on the school to keep drivers up to date on changes. Hatho claims that Lee wrote a complaint to Gail Vasic complaining about it.

As yet another example of the poor treatment gives its employees, the contract proves that Carenne Support is breaching it by replacing the Lithgow driver's job. The contract says -

I understand that while this is a casual position termination of this arrangement is
dependent upon (i) a failure to abide by the above items or (ii) Carenne Support Limited’s loss of the tender for the bus runs with Department of Education. In the event of a loss of tender Carenne Support Limited undertakes to give the driver as much notice as possible of the termination of the run.

Hatho claims that Carenne Support has changed the job to try and push bus driver Jenny O'Neill out of her position by making her redundant. Hatho claims that this was schemed up by Christine Porter and Mary Housler towards the end of last term during discussions at the school.
