Pre-existing workplace issues

Most unions have a policy that covers the situation of new members who join with an existing workplace issue. When you join your union, you understand that your selected union may not assist with workplaces issues that arose before you joined the union. This is because unions prioritise resources to help existing members and may not have the capacity to assist new members with pre-existing workplace problems.

However, union members stand together and act to help wherever possible. So we encourage you to check with your selected union after you join – they may be able to assist you with a pre-existing issue if it meets specific conditions set out by that union.

Fees to fit your circumstances.

Full-time, apprentice, contractor, casual or part-time – unions have the interests of all workers in mind, and many will provide custom fees to fit with your position.

Part-time or low-wage worker: $28 for the first month, then you will move to your union’s specific membership rates.
Full-time worker: $56 for the first month, then you will move to your union’s specific membership rates.
Full-time workers can expect ongoing fees of around $10 per week, but this can differ depending on your industry and wages.
