The two leaders are at loggerheads over the closure of Queensland's border.
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union NSW wants marshals on all public transport to enforce COVID-safe regulations.
"The state government has introduced a raft of measures for public transport without the means to enforce them," Mr Claassens said. "A pandemic is not the time to be axing jobs and stripping safety responsibilities from transport staff. Not when transport is so crucial to protecting public health," Mr Claassens said in a statement on Thursday.
"The NSW government must pick up its game and develop a long-term plan for protecting public health across all our public transport services - one that doesn't involve cutting staff, giving advice and hoping for the best," Mr Claassens said.
