The. Australian Railways Union in Queensland is seeking amalgamation with the 21 other unions with members in the railways industry. The ARU will put the proposal to the Queensland Trade Union Congress in August. In the meantime, it will try to convince the other unions and their members that the interests of the 23,000 railway workers in Queensland would be. best served if they all belonged to the one union.

Fifteen thousand railway workers are split up among five, other purely railway unions and 16 craft or white collar unions. Officials of these onions are not expected to receive the ARU moves kindly. But the ARU State secretary, Mr P. Dunne, said today resistance was not as great now as it had been previously. "A multiplicity of unions causes unnecessary duplication of work and representation and adds to increased expenditure in unions' operating costs," he said.
