benefits of joining a union
UNITED WE STAND
The ETU has a strong culture, based on a militant organising model of unionism. We are not afraid to stand up and fight to protect pay and workplace conditions and deliver outcomes that make a difference to members’ lives.
Through the combined strength of the Union and many long, hard-fought campaigns, Victorian ETU members enjoy some of the best workplace conditions and wages anywhere in Australia. But our role goes way beyond that, demanding that members are treated with respect and dignity on and off the job. This is the reason why we’ve campaigned so hard for family-friendly working hours to ensure that members have genuine time off to spend with, and enjoy raising, their families through their entire working lives.
