Introduction to the AEU's Industrial Work

The AEU represents the industrial interests of its members through:

• negotiation and advocacy in state and federal industrial tribunals;
• protection of rights through awards and agreements;
• campaigns to improve working conditions and entitlements;
• campaigns for safe and harassment-free workplaces;
• support, advice and representation for individual members;
• lobbying and campaigning - against draconian industrial legislation and for better legal protections for workers' rights;
• building solidarity between all education industry workers.

Industrial Contacts
