Lower Limit Live Longer
We fought for the lower limit and won. Now it’s the law. Help us hold every workplace to account so no worker is still breathing more than they should.
Manufacturing Jobs For Australia
We put manufacturing jobs at the centre of the national agenda, winning landmark reforms and a future made in Australia for AMWU members.
Support Aussie Made
When COVID disrupted global supply chains, manufacturing workers kept Australia going, producing food, ventilators and PPE.
The Housing Charter
Australia is in the midst of a housing crisis. Workers are bearing the brunt. It’s time to act.
