Our Team
The URTU is organised on democratic principles with the aim of devolving power to the membership. This is exercised through over 500 elected key people working on a local basis as URTU Shop Stewards and Branch Secretaries. The Union's Executive Committee members work on a regional basis with the President being elected on a national basis. All these positions are voluntary.
The General Secretary, who is responsible for the running of the organisation, is in a full-time, salaried position but is subject to election every five years. National and Regional Officers (many are former drivers) are employed full time and, along with Head Office staff, are protected by normal employee rights and are not subject to election.
The people who work for URTU are professionals. They have developed a range of skills to ensure first class representation and assistance is available to members in relation to negotiations on terms and conditions, health and safety or tribunal applications.
