RTBU National Council Highlights Video

Around 80 elected National Council Delegates and observers from all parts of our industries, and all parts of the country, gathered in Brisbane from 21-23 November for the 15^th bi-annual RTBU National Council.

It was important moment for our union – celebrating the 30^th anniversary of the amalgamation of four of our predecessor unions to form the modern RTBU.

We’ve come a long way since then.  Today’s RTBU is a powerful, professional, member-led organisation – almost 35,000 members strong.

We’re a campaigning outfit that doesn’t just give our members a voice, it gives them a megaphone.

We’re expanding our reach and our influence across our industries – improving workplace safety, lifting the standard of training, and ensuring terms and conditions that allow workers in our industries to live a dignified life.

But none of this has happened by accident.  Our strength is the result of decades of hard work, built on the wisdom and courage of the workers who saw the benefits of creating a national all-grades union for the rail tram and bus industries back in 1993.

The RTBU has survived countless challenges, we’ve won countless victories, and we’re just warming up!
