This edition includes a special feature on the recent Women In Male Dominated Occupations and Industries (WIMDOI) conference in Cairns.  The event was a huge success, and the RTBU was right in the middle of it!

You can also read about:

• The release of the review into national rail safety laws;
• The new workers’ compensation laws in Western Australia;
• Enterprise Agreement negotiations in South Australia;
• 50 cent fares in Queensland;
• The fight for better pay on Sydney’s light rail network; and
• Protecting the safety of Victorian public transport workers and Tasmanian bus drivers.

This edition also looks back to the scandal over the jailing and subsequent release of legendary unionist Clarrie O’Shea in the Memory Lane section.  There’s a wrap-up of the ACTU Congress in Adelaide, a touching farewell letter from former National Secretary, Mark Diamond, and much more!
