Today members at ARTC commenced industrial action by wearing their union gear proudly!

Our Network Controllers pictured below at Broadmeadow and Junee showed their unity and commitment to getting a fair deal.

This group of members both in Network Control and Infrastructure have been trapped inside a gerrymandered enterprise agreement where their voices are drowned out every bargaining round. Each round we find a new way to challenge their situation and we are committed to finding a way to win!

Stand united and strong ARTC members!

For years the RTBU has been campaigning to improve the South Coast line, and today it's paid off!

The Minns Labor Government has committed $6.8 billion to upgrade and electrify the South Coast rail line and remove the bottlenecks holding it back.

The plan includes an immediate investment of $621 million, with work already underway to upgrade critical infrastructure ahead of electrification and duplication work beginning.

It’s a major win for the workers who run the line and the passengers who rely on it.

This has been a priority for our members for years. Now, every party running in the NSW election needs to commit to delivering it, along with the other critical rail projects we’ve been fighting for.

Bus drivers across Regions 7, 8 and 9 have sent a clear message to their employers: we're ready to fight!

With a massive 97% YES vote for all forms of industrial action and an 85% participation rate, RTBU members have shown they're united and serious about winning a fair Multi-Enterprise Agreement.

Busways, Keolis NB and Transdev John Holland Buses are now on notice.

Three regions. One united workforce.

Newcastle bus drivers have waited long enough. It's time for a fair pay rise!

Day 3 of hearings at the Fair Work Commission has wrapped up, with the RTBU fighting for pay rises totalling over 26% across four years.

RTBU Director of Legal Pete Mathews gives us the latest and what happens next.

13/10/2026

Day 2 at the Fair Work Commission, and RTBU NSW Secretary Toby Warnes took the stand to fight for a fair deal for Newcastle bus drivers.

The evidence is clear. Poor pay is hurting drivers and Newcastle's bus services.

Closing arguments begin tomorrow, stay tuned.

Day 1 at the Fair Work Commission with our RTBU Bus delegates.

Another 12 months of Keolis is another 12 months too many.

RTBU NSW Secretary Toby Warnes spoke to ABC Newcastle following the decision to extend Keolis’ contract, making it clear that privatisation has failed Newcastle.

Bus drivers have been fighting for a pay rise for more than two years, while passengers continue to deal with substandard services.

Workers deserve better. Passengers deserve better. Newcastle deserves better.

02/10/2026

Newcastle bus workers and passengers deserve a service that puts people first.

For years, our members and the Newcastle community have endured Keolis’s failures, terrible management and complete disregard for the workers and passengers who rely on this service.

Another 12 months with Keolis means another 12 months of workers and the community paying the price.

Enough is enough. Newcastle’s buses belong in public hands.

No parent should have to wonder whether their child will make it home safely from the bus.

After a 16-year-old girl fell from a moving B-Line bus when a rear door gave way, the RTBU is demanding answers.

Bus workers and passengers deserve to know how this happened, whether similar faults exist across the fleet, and what is being done to make sure it never happens again.

Safety cannot be left to chance. The RTBU is calling for a full investigation and urgent action to keep workers and passengers safe.
