For Australian manufacturing
We put manufacturing jobs at the centre of the national agenda, winning landmark reforms and a future made in Australia for AMWU members.
A future made by workers
AMWU members have long fought for secure, union manufacturing jobs in Australia. We know strong local industries, both established and emerging, are key to a resilient economy, bringing back jobs and strengthening communities.
Over the past three years, AMWU members have pushed the Labor government to raise its ambitions, securing workplace rights that have improved conditions nationwide. In 2024, after years of relentless campaigning, the government announced ‘A Future Made in Australia’. The biggest industry and economic policy shift of our lifetimes, backed by major investment. A historic win for AMWU members!
But the fight isn’t over. Promises alone won’t build the industries of the future or create secure, well-paid jobs. This election, AMWU members are demanding real action: stronger local supply chains, targeted investment in skills, and secure manufacturing jobs where they’re needed most. This is our chance to shape a future where workers share in the nation’s prosperity, and AMWU members won’t stop until it’s reality.
Get involved
Manufacturing jobs won’t defend themselves.
Our campaign has helped deliver a future made in Australia and put manufacturing back on the national agenda. Join more than 60,000 AMWU members to turn promises into secure, union jobs.
What we’re fighting for
Our campaigns are building a stronger manufacturing industry and securing more work for Australian workers.
