Rank and File News was first published in Brisbane in 1991 by rank and file unionists who had been active in the SEQEB power company lockout.

The magazine was produced to assist workers in their struggles, at work and outside. Industrial campaigns were seen as complete linked with the fight for freedom and justice in daily life. From 1992 Rank and File News was produced in Melbourne.

Rank and File News promotes the interests of workers and oppressed people to organise collectively to take power in their own lives and in society. We support the development of networks of communication and solidarity between different areas of struggle. We work to build organisations that are uncompromising and at the same time respectful of different positions, to fight for out interests. We work to make our interests real.

An end to economic exploitation. An end to social oppression.
