Re: Cityrail Guard

How about calling among your brothers in the STA, RSA, etc? As far as I
know, you are still PTU, regardless of what division you are. Combine the
public transport workers and you have....

PTU - Bus, Train, Ferry
Australian Metal Workers Union - Bus, Ferry, Train
Electrical Trades Union - Bus, Ferry, Train
CMFEU - Ferry, Train
Plumbers, Painters etc......

Imagine the combined power of all the unions involved, we are all involved
either directly or indirectly

Does the ASU deserve a mention though......

United We Stand, Divided We Fall
