The AFULE is a craft union that represents traincrew in Queensland — the first and oldest railway union in the world, dating back to 1861. Led by the State Secretary and State President, we are a team of dedicated traincrew who volunteer their time to protect the wages and conditions of traincrew across the state, under the motto "Traincrew Representing Traincrew". We represent the majority of traincrew within Queensland, and we are proud to continue this stand-alone craft union that exclusively represents traincrew.
