Member Benefits
There are so many reasons to be a member of United Workers Union.
Being a United Workers Union member builds power in the workplace for you and your co-workers. Better wages and conditions are won in workplaces where union members stand together.
Support at work
We’ve got your back. With expert advice, advocacy and representation, we help you build bargaining power at your workplace and provide support when things go wrong.
Training & Workshops
Be a leader at your workplace. We provide training for members who want to become union delegates. Our monthly Member Workshops cover a broad range of topics, from Cost-of-Living Hacks to Discrimination at Work.
Legal Support
Keep legal costs down. We represent you when your employer has acted unfairly. Members are also entitled to discounted legal assistance for non-workplace matters, one FREE legal consultation per year and a Will Kit.
Tax Deductible Fees
100% tax deductible. It's true – another great thing about union membership is that it boosts your income tax return and can end up costing you next-to-nothing.
Cost of Living Savings
Save money with Union Shopper. Collective buying power provides a range of discounts on goods and services. We also offer discounts on over-the-phone medical certificates, low-cost electricity, great value insurance, and more.
Discounted Professional Services
Skill up! Our members can access discounted training from the Red Cross, including First Aid, Mental Health First Aid and CPR, in addition to free and discounted legal assistance, and discounted medical certificates.
