We exist as a union to be a powerful voice for transport workers in the fight for economic and social justice.

We are the collective voice of tens of thousands of transport workers across NSW and the ACT, who stand together for secure jobs with good pay, good working conditions and world class safety standards.

We are a strong and growing union, but we are only as strong as our members on the ground. We work in all parts of the transport industry, including trucking, buses and taxis, at our airports, on the waterfronts, in the waste and cash in transit industries, in distribution centres and associated workplaces.

Over many years of organising and campaigning we have achieved many great things, including Safe Rates laws for truck drivers, national workplace agreements with billion dollar global companies and the best wages, conditions and safety standards in the transport industry.

The hard work our members, delegates and activists put into their yards lifts the standards for every transport worker – union member or not.

From humble beginnings on July 24th 1888 as the Sydney Trolley and Draymen’s Union, we have been campaigning for a better life for our members. But there’s always a shonky operator to fight, and there is always a dodgy boss trying to squeeze more out of employees for less and that’s why we’re here.

So if you’re not already a member join now to become part of Australia’s leading union and protect your rights at work!
