About<\/h3>\n

West Australian Proud<\/h2>\n

The Australian Workers\u2019 Union is the nation\u2019s oldest and largest blue-collar trade union and has a long, proud history in Western Australia. Our branch is comprised of a dedicated team of officials, organisers, industrial and admin staff.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re based throughout the state, with our main office in the Perth CBD and organisers permanently in Port Hedland, Tom Price, Kalgoorlie and Bunbury.<\/p>\n

We have established 2 alliances, the Western Mine Workers\u2019 Alliance (WMWA) with the Mining & Energy Union, and the Offshore Alliance with the MUA. WMWA\u2019s focus is on Rio Tinto and BHP Iron Ore sites and the Offshore Alliance focuses on the offshore\/oil and gas industry. Alliance membership continues to grow and so too does our ability to collectively represent members in these industries.<\/p>\n

We are currently renewing our focus on the union\u2019s core purpose, to fight for the best interests of our members. We’re here to represent workers and their families, and to build a fairer community.<\/p>\n

To contact the WA Branch please call on (08) 9221 1686<\/a> or email at admin@awuwa.asn.au<\/a><\/p>\n
