Union membership = staying protected
+ strength in numbers
Today is the best time to join almost two million Australian workers just like you, who are taking action to drive real change.
Higher wages, reliable work
Together let’s make the most of your hard-earned. Union members campaign for higher wages for everyone, but union members also earn on average $250 per week more than non-union members. That’s $13,000 more on average each year in wages for union members.
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 having support and information on workplace rights.
Better work & society for all
So many of the basic rights that workers and all Australians receive is due to the hard-work of union members: Medicare, JobKeeper, annual leave, paid parental leave and more! Union members are making a difference where it matters most.
