May 13th this year saw the ETU turn 115 years old.
Once again, on behalf of its membership, the union has negotiated an outstanding outcome for our 10,000 members in the Contracting Industry.
With this letter is a booklet outlining the major gains provided for ETU members and their families in the new contracting 2021 ETU EBA as well as RDO calendars up to 2021.
With even the Reserve Bank now saying wages must go up, it’s time to do the right thing by you, your family and the Australian economy and demand your employer sign up to the new 2021 ETU EBA.
For more details on the 2021 ETU EBA or the process to sign up, contact your Organiser:
