MEMBER BENEFITS

Enterprise Agreements

Union members are in a stronger position to secure higher pay and conditions through collective bargaining. The TWU has a proven track record of improving wages and working conditions for our members, and employees that are under an Enterprise Agreement (EBA) earn on average more than other employees. 

The TWU fights for EBA's that guarantee:

  • Regular wage increases 
  • Fair rostering provisions
  • Superior leave entitlements

  • Public holidays
  • Meal breaks
  • Allowances
