South African Railways and Harbours Employees' Union

The South African Railways and Harbours Employees' Union (SAR&HEU) was a trade union representing lower-paid white workers on the railways in South Africa.

The union was founded in 1924 on the model of the South African Railways and Harbours Salaried Staff Association, but representing more junior staff, and with lower subscriptions.

It affiliated to the Federal Consultative Council of South African Railways and Harbours Staff Associations (FCC), and by 1962, had 7,875 members.

[1] Through the FCC, it became part of the pro-apartheid South African Confederation of Labour, and by 1980, its membership had grown to 12,381.

[5] Later in the 1990s, it merged into the United Association of South Africa.
