When you need help, your union will be there.
This is a real choice between building a strong, modern union and a union stuck in time.
This election will decide the direction of our union for the next four years.
United For You is committed to:
A stronger member voice in decisions and resourcing
Your voice matters. We'll make sure members have a real say in the decisions that shape your union and where resources go.
More delegates and organisers in the workplace
More union reps on the ground where it counts. We're putting more organisers and delegates into workplaces so you have support when you need it.
An improved member experience with advice and resources when you need them
Fast, practical help when it matters. Better access to industrial advice, legal support and resources so you're never left waiting.
Better training and support for delegates
Strong delegates build a strong union. We'll invest in training that gives delegates the tools and confidence to win for members every day.
Big, bold modern campaigns that stand the test of time
Not just short-term wins. We run smart, strategic campaigns that lift entire industries and keep delivering for members long after the cameras leave.
All members running on the United For You ticket have either worked on the shop floor or have been rank and file members, delegates, or activists in the union movement. They understand the realities and challenges faced by members because they have experienced them directly.
Your vote will decide whether our union moves forward with new approaches to rapidly changing workplaces or returns to old, failed approaches.
Make sure your voice is heard. Vote United For You.
In the upcoming election, United Workers Union members will have the opportunity to decide the union's direction over the coming decade.

Nominations close at the end of March. If more than one team nominates, an election will be held in late April. You will receive a ballot paper in the post from the Australian Electoral Commission.
United For You will let you know how to make your vote count.
-
If you were a financial Industrial Member for UWU as of 31 January, you are eligible to vote. This is the date when the membership list was provided to the Australian Electoral Commission.
-
The Union's rules make sure members across every part of Australia are treated equally. Members vote in their local Union electorates, based on where they live. This structure means members in smaller regions are not overshadowed by larger states and everyone has a fair say.
Voting is not compulsory. However, it is important to participate to make sure your voice is heard in choosing your delegates. -
You are electing local members to serve as Convention Delegates. United For You is running a ticket of local members in your electorate. If elected, these members will attend the Convention on your behalf.
-
United For You candidates come from a diverse range of sectors, representing the breadth and experience of our Union.
This diversity means all voices within the Union are heard.
United For You candidates believe local states should have a say in how their union operates locally.
-
The Convention Delegates you elect will vote in July for the positions of National Secretary, National President, Vice Presidents, and Executive. They will also vote for the Member Council, which is made up of 50 rank and file members across the country.
-
No. Under the Union's rules, State Secretaries are not elected in a general election. Any claim that voting for particular candidates will result in them becoming State Secretary is misleading.
-
With over 150,000 members, it is hard for every member to know every candidate personally. United For You candidates have provided information about themselves, their achievements, and their vision for the Union over the next four years.
