Recognising the TWU Pioneers
If we are to continue to build a strong and effective Transport Workers Union, then we must recognise the great struggles undertaken by previous generations of transport workers. They helped to create the industrial protections which today's transport workers rightly expect when they enter the workplace.
The attacks made by John Howard and his government on the rights of Australian workers are a reminder that we cannot take the victories of the past for granted. We must be determined to fight to protect our hard-won rights.
Only a strong and united Transport Workers Union can protect the industrial conditions of transport workers. After all, the union is nothing more than its members, gathered together in common cause. When you read the stories in Proud to be a TWU Member, it's clear that is the great lesson these union pioneers offer. They could not win alone; only by working with their mates, and with the TWU behind them, could they succeed.
Retired Members can Still Be Active
Even though you have retired from work it does not mean that you cannot still be active in the fight to Secure a better Future for working Australians and their families. For more details contact the TWU Call centre on (02) 99120700 or sign on to our activist's register.
