Your Union for Farm Workers

We feed you.

We are the workers who pick the fruits and vegetables we all eat. Many of us work in Coles and Woolworths supply chains and have experienced visa insecurity, exploitation, harassment, racial discrimination, and wage theft.

We are organising to shine a light on the horticulture industry in Australia and beyond. We have already won significant advancements through labour-hire regulation and our visa justice campaigns. Most importantly we are on the ground organising farms across the country to ensure farm workers are paid fairly and treated with respect.

United Workers Union is our union for farm workers in Australia.   

UWU represents over 150,000 workers from all walks of life across Australia.  Throughout our history, we’ve shown when working people come together, we win.

We fight hard for jobs you can count on, decent pay and conditions, and respect at work. Your union is here to help you, we provide a range of quality services, benefits and representation when you need it.

Standing together, we can change our workplaces.

Better Pay and Conditions

Union members stand together for better pay and conditions, respect, and job security.

Australian workers who are union members earn on average $250 more every week.

At worksites across the country UWU Delegates, leaders and Health and Safety Reps have your back.

Being union also gives you access to a community of workers and expert information when you need it.

When you’re union, you’re part of a national movement with a long history for standing up for what is right.

If you want a fairer Australia, joining your union is the best way to make a difference.
