Financing Our Future

Five national unions, including the Rail Tram & Bus Union, joined together last year to commission Strategic Economics to produce a report on alternatives to the free market and Public Private Partnerships for financing Australia's growing infrastructure challenge.

The primary purpose is to make sure a union voice is heard in a formal ALP National Inquiry into infrastructure financing, and to strongly assert our case within the ACTU itself.

Education of union officers, activists and members is also a major priority.

A 32-page booklet and 4-page summary were published in June 2005. Hard copies are available from the National Office.
