Real results and real experiences:
here’s what union membership delivers.
“A union isn’t a cost; it’s the best investment workers can make when we stand together. With the AMWU, we won over $400,000 in backpay for 289 workers and secured an industry-leading agreement restoring respect and dignity. None of this would have happened without joining our union.”

“Having a union representative with me made such a difference. In a daunting meeting with HR and management, I felt supported, heard, and represented. The union spoke up on my behalf in a professional way that I couldn’t have managed on my own. It was a huge relief and incredibly helpful.

“You’re never alone in the AMWU — you’re part of a family that stands with you. This past year we secured the best EBA I’ve had in 30 years, plus constant wins outside bargaining. The union has given me the skills, tools and confidence to speak up for what’s right.”
