Across the industry, transport workers understand the power of standing together to achieve real change at their workplace and in their communities. Our members play a vital role in the fight for a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work for all transport workers.
Together, we fight to secure the best pay, conditions and safety standards for transport workers, and to keep our families and communities safe while on the move in Australia.
