The RTBU is committed to addressing the scourge of family, domestic and sexual violence in our society.  We recognise that these issues affect our members and they affect our workplaces.

In 2019, the RTBU asked Professor John Quiggin from the University of Queensland's School of Economics to assess the arguments for and against the franchising model of public transport privatisation.

The Rail, Tram and Bus Union made this submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Inquiry into the Management of the Inland Rail project by the Australian Rail Track Corporation and the Commonwealth Government.

The RTBU has made a submission to Productivity Commission Inquiry into national transport regulatory reform
June 2019.

The RTBU has released its policy priorities for the 2019 Federal election, and called on the major parties to take action on Australia's looming transport crisis.

The RTBU is unequivocal in its belief that strict standards of fatigue management must be consistently applied across all states and territories. However, these standards must be consistently high, not consistently low.

All Australians deserve a say in how we best manage change to minimise the costs and maximise the benefits of new technologies. And workers must be at the forefront of these discussions.

Testing of rail workers for alcohol and drugs should focus on genuine impairment, rather than intrusive measures which punish workers for presence.
