The Transport Workers' Union of Australia represents more than 6000 transport workers across South Australia and Northern Territory, and more than 90,000 nationally. The TWU has a long and proud history – we’ve been around for well over 100 years and we intend to be around for the next century. In spite of huge technological change since the last century – the growth of the railways and interstate road transport and the rise of big transport companies, the TWU has always adapted to changing circumstances – because there is always a need to defend and extend the wages and conditions in the transport industry. Today your TWU is a modern union representing workers in the long-distance, general transport, owner-driver, logistics, concrete, armoured vehicle, refuse, aviation, gas and passenger transport industries. It is this collective strength across so many industries that makes our Union a modern organisation that is a successful driving force that is dedicated in representing ordinary working Australians.
