The New Zealand Tramways and Public Passenger Transport Employees Union was founded in 1903.
Since the 1950s and 60s, trams were replaced by trolley and diesel buses and their drivers are who the New Zealand Tramways Union represent today.
In 2008, Tramways Union members at GO Wellington were locked out, as were Auckland drivers employed by NZ Bus in 2009.
In both cases the union came away with improved wages and conditions at the end of the industrial dispute.
