The RTBU is one of Australia's oldest unions and has an extremely proud past. It is the union that was responsible for the 1912 Brisbane Tramway Strike, the 1917 Railways Strike in NSW, the 1969 Tramways Strike in VIC - all of which turned into massive general strikes across the whole of Australia, and which were the start of significant social change which has improved the lives of all Australians.

It is with this spirit of solidarity that we have partnered with Finsure to create 'RTBU Home Loans' to deliver RTBU Members, their family and friends support beyond the workplace and provide access to a panel of trusted Aussie lenders with some of the best home loan offers in the country.

The service is free for those who use it and when a loan is settled, the RTBU receives 20% of the Commission that the lender pays to Finsure - a commission that would have been paid anyway. This amount will solely be used a fighting fund which will be used to directly improve the lives of RTBU members and their families.
