Welcome to the NTEU-UWS Branch Website
The NTEU is member led, everyone plays a part in ensuring the Union is active in the workplace.
NTEU membership goes beyond getting someone to sign on the dotted line – it means involving members more directly in the work of the Union, particularly at the local level, and building a culture that supports and encourages involvement. This includes being able to easily identify and contact members and non-members, as well as educating members to recognise that recruitment, campaigning and ‘talking union’ is the job of all union members.
All members – whether you are full time or casual members, delegates and activists play a vital role in working with Branch, Division and National levels to organise and campaign around important workplace matters.
