Support when you need it
Be sure you stay in control if things go wrong at work. As a union member you know that you’re protected with the best employment legal advice, as well as support and info on workplace rights.
Higher wages, reliable work
Union members campaign for higher wages for everyone, but union members also earn on average $312 more per week, than non-union members.
Better work and society for all
So many of the basic rights that workers and all Australians receive is due to hard-won campaigns by union members: Medicare, JobKeeper, annual leave, paid parental leave and more!
The Australian union movement has always worked towards big, important and permanent changes that benefit all workers. Time and time again, we’ve proven that change is more than an idea – it is an action we take every day. That’s why I’m inviting you to join almost two million union members today.
