Your Union

The CFMEU NSW branch covers workers in the construction industry, working on and off building sites. We also have members working in maintenance, the power industry, boiler rooms, oil refineries and more.
If you want to be a member of a union that sticks up for workers and isn’t afraid to take action, you need to be a member of the CFMEU.
The union’s successful bargaining campaigns continue to deliver fair wages and better conditions like superannuation, redundancy pay and income protection. In 2000 the CFMEU won the 36 hour week, giving workers 26 paid days off a year.
The CFMEU never compromises on safety. We back up our workpkace health and safety reps and give them the training they need to minimise risks to workers. In construction you enforce your safety rights by being a member of the CFMEU.
SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
The CFMEU are big supporters of Foundation House which offers hope and help through rehabilitation. Foundation House is a not-for-profit residential rehabilitation centre founded in 2000.
They offer residential rehabilitation, outpatient services and ongoing support after rehab. Foundation House has a 28-day residential program that is often the first step in the recovery process. They provide a foundation for people ready to change their lives, start their rehabilitation and begin a new chapter. Foundation House offers rehab for those with alcohol, other drug and gambling addictions. To find out more click here
