Australian Unions. We’re for workers.
For over 100 years, workers in unions have taken action to create better work for all.
Sick-pay, annual leave, Medicare, penalty rates, higher wages, work safety laws, paid parental leave, even JobKeeper — these are fundamental rights that we’ve won that benefit generations of Australians.
Join with almost two million members and together we can prove that change is more than an idea. It’s an action we take every day.
