UnionsWA is the peak Trades and Labour Council, representing over 30 affiliated unions which have over 150,000 members in Western Australia.
Unions provide an opportunity for employees to join together with others in their workplace and their industry to have a say about their pay, conditions, workplace health and safety and the ways in which work may impact on their lives for the better. The idea of working together with other people - in an industry, in a workplace, or in your community, is one of the central driving forces behind unionism. The same principle applies within UnionsWA.
