YARD!<br />
1. EARN MORE<br />
$15,000<br />
ABS statistics show that Union members earn<br />
on average $300 more per week than non-Union<br />
members. That’s over $15,000 per year!<br />
per annum<br />
2. SAFETY<br />
5.<br />
Unionised workplaces are<br />
safer because people aren’t<br />
scared to speak up on safety<br />
issues. International studies<br />
show that unionised<br />
workplaces have<br />
an injury rate 24%<br />
lower than in non-unionised<br />
workplaces.<br />
LEGAL ASSISTANCE<br />
The <strong>TWU</strong> has an experienced in-house legal team<br />
3. JOB SECURITY<br />
Being a <strong>TWU</strong> member means<br />
you can rest easy without<br />
fears that you will lose your job.<br />
If you are unfairly dismissed,<br />
our legal team will back you<br />
every step of the way.<br />
4. BETTER CONDITIONS<br />
Employers and<br />
the Government<br />
have never simply<br />
handed out<br />
improved working<br />
conditions or<br />
entitlements. Benefits<br />
like weekends, overtime, sick<br />
leave, holidays, pensions,<br />
rostered days off, redundancy<br />
agreements and ending child labour<br />
have all been fought for and won by<br />
union members.
