About<\/h3>\n

AWU members get a better deal at work.<\/p>\n

We stand together to improve pay, conditions, and job security.<\/p>\n

We help each other when the situation gets tough.<\/p>\n

The history of Australia cannot be written without reference to The Australian Workers’ Union.<\/p>\n

Since our formation in 1886, we have stood up and delivered for working families.<\/p>\n

We began representing shearers and miners. Today our members work in manufacturing, steel, aluminium, glass, oil & gas, aviation, agriculture, construction, state public services, local government, plastics, food processing, paper, resources, aquaculture, the beauty industry, events, and racing industries.<\/p>\n

Our members are as diverse as the industries they work in, but we are unified by the belief that when we stand together we are stronger together.<\/p>\n

Union fees are tax-deductible.<\/p>\n

If you want the protection and strength that the AWU provides – join today by calling (08) 9221 1686<\/a> or by visiting our join page.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
