Anthony "Tony" Sheldon, (born 1962) is an Australian trade unionist and National Secretary of the Transport Workers Union (TWU). He is a well-known figure in the Australian labour movement, and in May 2012 Sheldon was named one of the most powerful union leaders in Australia by The Power Index.〔http://www.thepowerindex.com.au/union-heavies/tony-sheldon〕 As TWU National Secretary, Sheldon led the widely praised TWU 'Safe Rates' campaign, where his negotiation skills and leadership of the TWU's campaigning were instrumental in garnering community and political support for the Road Safety Remuneration Act 2012, landmark legislation which is aimed at improving safety and conditions in the road transport industry. Under Sheldon's leadership the TWU is leading the fight to save jobs at Qantas and for the future for the Australian aviation industry. In December 2011 Sheldon restructured elements of the TWU's national office, with a stated view to position the TWU for the future, but the move received some criticism from rival unions and disgruntled former members of staff.〔http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/union-heavy-sacks-staff/story-fn6b3v4f-1226224854306〕 Born in Sutherland, Sydney, Sheldon attended De La Salle College (Cronulla, NSW). He has completed post graduate studies in Industrial Law at the University of NSW and is a graduate of the Harvard University Trade Union program. He worked as a garbage collector, and his professional union activity began in 1988. He joined the TWU in the 1990s. He led the NSW branch of TWU from 1999 to 2008 and has been TWU National Secretary since 2006.〔()〕 In 2008, Sheldon was accused of running a joint employer-union training fund. A review by professional services firm Deloitte noted a lack of governance arrangements in the operation of the fund, which should have been in place to ensure its formal separation from the TWU. Sheldon is a former vice president of the Australian Labor Party (NSW Branch) and former Senior Vice President of the Australian Labor Party.〔http://www.alp.org.au/australian-labor/member-news/results-of-the-national-presidents-ballot/〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tony Sheldon (trade unionist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
