Bargaining with Industry Giants

December 13, 2024

The WA Branch has been hard at work, continuing to actively negotiate several agreements with some of the state’s largest employers. Bargaining with Capral Aluminium, Patties Foods, CBH Gain Handlers, DBCA, Main Roads, and BHP holds incredible potential for improving the conditions of workers across our state.

On top of this, Branch Secretary Brad Gandy has been on the road in our new Members Mini-van, touring through the North West Geraldton and Kalgoorlie with our Organisers, speaking with members directly.

On October 1, we also launched our new AWU Journey Cover giving all AWU, WMWA and Offshore Alliance members certainty when they leave home on their journey to work. Paid-up AWU, WMWA, or Offshore Alliance member are now entitled to AWU Journey Cover, which provides up to $2,000 a week for up to 2 years if you find yourself injured on your way to work and lump-sum payments of up to $100,000 if you find yourself permanently disabled or pass away on your way to work.

As our union grows, the more we can offer to ensure members are secure in all aspects of their work.

The WA Branch has also hosted Delegate Training in our Kalgoorlie and Perth Offices to empower our workplace Delegates to best represent and negotiate on behalf of their workmates.

Thank you to all the Delegates who attended training, and if you’re a Delegate or want to be one, contact our office on 08 9221 1686.

Giving back to our members is always at front of mind, that’s why we recently initiated our branch competitions – Fuel Fridays, Thanking Union Dads, and Royal Show Ticket competitions have helped ensure our members have more money and time to spend with their families.

We would like to give a special shout-out and acknowledge all our members at Alcoa’s Kwinana Alumina Refinery who were relocated or made redundant, and to those who are retiring, we wish you well with your next adventure.

We also acknowledge the pain and uncertainty facing our Albemarle Lithium and BHP Nickel West members who are facing an uncertain future, and re-commit our Organisers and union to supporting you during this transition.

At the AWU we know that our members don’t stop working and neither do we.
