We do not shy away from militancy in the union movement — that is our power. But we believe there is no place in our society for corruption or criminal and violent behaviour. The allegations against CFMEU officers must be investigated thoroughly and addressed with urgency.

My home-town newspaper, the Maitland Mercury, warned in 1912 that we would be confronted by a climate crisis from burning coal We need to plan an orderly path to decarbonisation that looks after blue collar workers & their communities We don’t have any more time to waste.

The AMWU wants to see a Future Made in Australia. Having workers at the table, so they’ve got a say in the industries, the jobs, the skills and training in their communities is critical to a just transition. Let's look after them as they've done for us ✊

The Net Zero Economy Authority Bill is before the Senate right now. The AMWU in conjunction with many other trade unions have been campaigning for this for well over 12 months. This gives workers in our regions a real voice at the table when planning for their future.

Big win! The AMWU celebrates the passing of the Net Zero Economy Authority Bill. After over a year of pushing for this, workers in our energy regions will finally have a voice in shaping their future. This is a huge step towards a net-zero economy & more secure, sustainable jobs.

We firmly believe that we need more trade unionists in Canberra representing the working class. Workers voices should be in our parliaments. All power to your arm Senator Lisa Darmanin ✊ You have the support of the AMWU.

Saputo is one of largest dairy processors in the world, dominating Australian supermarket shelves, but their maintenance workers in Tasmania are being paid 23.5% less than their colleagues in mainland Victoria. The AMWU is calling for pay parity ✊ UNION STRONG

Tasmanian workers at Saputo are fighting to be paid equal to their counterparts in Victoria who are paid 23.5% more than them for the same job. Please sign our petition and tell Saputo’s Canadian and Australian management this is unacceptable 👉 megaphone.org.au/petitions/join…

Here is our National Secretary Steve Murphy advocating for secure, unionised jobs at a Senate Inquiry into the Future Made in Australia Bill yesterday! The industry standards that have been built by generations of workers should be upheld, not be a point of conflict.

The ACTU is where the collective voice of Australian Unions come together to assert our interests These relationships are important to share & defend — as we uphold our values & ambition We are proudly part of a strong trade union movement that wins for workers #TheUnionForever

Whilst each union has its independence, autonomy, and relevance within our respective industries — the interdependence of our #unions reflects our shared experience of #unity, #solidarity, and discipline #workers #amwu #actu

My union,⁦The AMWU⁩ and its leader Steve Murphy is taking a principled stand by opposing the establishment of a breakaway group of blue collar unions. ⁦Sally McManus⁩ is a strong leader of the ACTU and knows criminals have no place in unions. abc.net.au/news/2024-09-0…

The 500 biggest Australian companies extracted $98,000,000,000 in profits during a #CostOfLivingCrisis. CEO’s are hiking prices and pocketing annual salaries and bonuses that would take workers more than 100 years to earn. Profit driven inflation. #auspol #greed
