Career

National Secretary of the RTBU

[edit]

In 2011, he was appointed National Secretary of the Rail Tram and Bus Union (RTBU). He also served on the board of the Transport and Logistics Industry Skills Council.[5] Following criminal charges being laid against CFMEU officials John Setka and John Reardon, Nanva said that Australia's industrial relations conflict had "become an exercise in mutually-assured destruction".[6] In 2015, Nanva criticised the inaugural speech of Labor MP Chris Minns, which called for reduced union influence within the party.[7] In 2016, he was also elected as Vice President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU).[8][2] In 2017, Nanva criticised the resignation of Fair Work Commission vice-president Graeme Watson, calling for new limits on the employment activities of commissioners who resigned from the organisation.[9] In 2019, Nanva resigned as RTBU National Secretary[10] and ceased to be Vice President of the ACTU.[2]

Labor Party

[edit]

Nanva is a member of the Mulock Nepean Branch of the NSW Labor Party[2] and served as a local councillor on Burwood City Council. He has been a policy advisor to both State and Federal Labor Governments.[4] In 2019, he was appointed as General-Secretary of NSW Labor and served on the party's Administrative Committee and National Executive.[2]

Nanva was endorsed as a Labor candidate for the New South Wales Legislative Council in the 2023 election[11][12] and was elected.[13]
