Each Branch Committee is made up of:

• Sub Branch Chairperson
• Sub Branch Vice Chairperson
• Sub Branch Secretary
• Four (4) Committee Members

The Branch Committees are elected every three years from within the Traincrew ranks.

The Divisional Council

The governing body ofthe Union is the Divisional Council.  The Divisional Council has responsibility for the overall running and management of the Union, and is the supreme decision-making body.

The Divisional Council is made up of:

• State President
• State Vice President
• State Secretary
• Divisional Councillors

Divisional Councillors are elected from within the Traincrew ranks.  The State is divided into seven divisions.  Each Sub Branch of the Union is allocated to one of the seven divisions, with divisonal bourndaries being determined vy the AFULE Committee of Managment prior to elections. One Councillor (and one Proxy Divisional Councillor) is elected every three years by and from the members in each division.
