Governance

As a democratically elected body representing the interests of its members, the Union puts into practice governance procedures dictated by legislation, the Rules and identified best practices. This includes reporting duties, specification of Rules and electoral procedures, as collected on this page.

At the RTBU, we are proud to be open and accountable to our Members as we are all the Union together, not just our officials.

Rules, Policies & Elections

The RTBUWA is governed according to its Rules. A Union’s Rules are essentially its Constitution and preserve the processes that ensure it operates democratically and for its intended purpose – the interests of the members. This includes specifying the manner and terms of election for all offices in the Union.

Alongside the Rules, the Union implements appropriate policies to improve practices and ensure consistent operation.
