Rtbu

The RTBU is made up of 6 divisions looking after the particular needs of a diverse group of workers. The Queensland Branch of the RTBU operates district offices in Brisbane, Townsville and Rockhampton. The head office and Bus Division offices are also located in Brisbane. The RTBU has over 30 sub-branches throughout the state and a comprehensive te... am of full-time officials and industrial staff. The RTBU is the principal union for public transport. It sets the course for trade union activity in the industry, protecting members' employment and maintaining wages and conditions for all workers. The RTBU is also the dominant union in the private sector rail industry. Members in our industries enjoy wages and conditions above those of many others working in similar areas. This is the result of working within highly unionised industries. The RTBU is one of Australia's major industry-based unions, able to cover all employees in public transport and the rail industry generally. It is also registered in the Federal and Queensland Industrial Relations Commissions. In Queensland, all rail workers and BCC bus drivers are eligible for membership. The RTBU works to promote public transport as an essential element in a fair and environmentally sustainable Australian society. It promotes the interests of public transport workers as a key to achieving that goal. The RTBU is affiliated with the Queensland Council of Unions (QCU), Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) and the Australian Labor Party (ALP).Read More
