      History

      The Railway Service Association formed in 1930 from the amalgamation of the New South Wales Government Railways Permanent Way Association and the Association of Employees (Mechanical Branch) of the NSW Railways (unions registered since 1918). In 1933 the RSA as a State Industrial Union was renamed and registered in New South Wales as the National Union of Railwaymen, NSW Branch - a predecessor to the Commonwealth registered National Union of Railwaymen of Australia.
