STOP THE PRESS!

After years of going backwards on workers’ rights, the tide has now turned. When the Rudd Government's new industrial relations laws are passed by Parliament they will give working Australians:
 

  • the right to bargain collectively
  • protection from unfair dismissal  
  • the right to be represented by a union  
  • a robust safety net of pay and conditions   
  • the backing of a strong industrial umpire
Unions Australia is a one-stop shop making it easy for working Australians to join a union. The process is fast and happens in two simple steps:

  • Fill out the online form on the Unions Australia website
  • Unions Australia will call and connect you with the right union

Membership costs between $6-9 per week depending on how much you earn, and provides:

  • Advice and support
  • A stronger position to secure better wages and working conditions
  • A range of extra benefits
