The '''Railway Union''' ({{langx|fi|Rautatiealan Unioni}}, RAU) is a [trade union](/source/trade_union) representing drivers, traffic controllers and office staff on the railways in [Finland](/source/Finland).

The union was founded on 16 November 2018, when the [Union of Locomotive Drivers](/source/Union_of_Locomotive_Drivers) merged with the Railway Officers' Union.  Like its predecessors, the union affiliated to the [Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions](/source/Central_Organisation_of_Finnish_Trade_Unions).  The union has about 4,000 members, but about 50% are retired.  The union's president is Tero Palomäki.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Union for Railways is the new SAK trade union |url=https://www.sak.fi/ajankohtaista/uutiset/rautatiealan-unioni-uusi-saklainen-ammattiliitto |website=SAK |date=16 November 2018 |accessdate=18 March 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Liitto |url=https://www.raury.fi/liitto/ |website=RAU |accessdate=18 March 2020}}</ref>
