Your Union for Laundries and Dry Cleaner Workers
We clean your clothes
We’re the workers at your local laundromat or dry cleaners. We often work late hours to get your clothes clean for you. Our work can be physically demanding and expose us to a number of safety risks. We’re fighting against wage theft, unsafe work conditions and respect at work.
United Workers Union is our union for laundry and dry cleaning 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.
TAKE ACTION FOR laundry WORKERS:
BECOME A DELEGATE
Stand up, Speak out.
A union delegate is another union member just like you. They have a job to do every day, and they answer to the same management that you do. The key difference is that a union delegate has training, tools and protections to help you and other members solve problems at work!

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.
Back up and Support at Work
When you face poor treatment – like unfair dismissal, safety issues or harassment at work it’s important to be union.
At worksites across the country UWU Delegates, leaders and Health and Safety Reps have your back.
Training, Community & Information
Members have access to exclusive training and development designed to support you at work.
Being union also gives you access to a community of workers and expert information when you need it.
Join a Movement that Wins
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.
