RTBU Victoria

Today marks twenty years since the tragic death of RTBU organiser and lifelong comrade of the Australian working class, Tony Massaria.

Twenty years on, Tony’s story still carries lessons for our union: members must lead their union, delegates must be empowered to make a difference, the union must always be strengthened, and above all, every worker should make it home safe.

We will continue to honour Tony through the work we do.

We honour the dead and fight like Hell for the living.

With no Victorian teams in the grand final, we’re not quite sure who to back, but we are nominating RTBU members for best on ground 💪

RTBU Queensland, RTBU Western Australia, any thoughts on who’s going to bring it home?

The RTBU has continued to advocate and campaign for stronger legislative protections for transport workers who face violence and intimidation on the job.

Today, new Victorian Premier Ben Carroll introduced legislation to establish a tough new Workplace Protection Order (WPO) scheme to deliver these protections.

The new laws will give courts the power to ban or limit people’s access to workplaces when they treat transport workers unacceptably.

Offenders who breach WPOs will face serious consequences of up to two years in prison or a fine of up to $50,000.

The RTBU welcomes these new laws to help keep our members safe at work ✊
