The MEU protects workers’ safety, rights, wages, and conditions. We help workers improve pay and conditions through collective bargaining, provide free legal assistance and support, we provide advice and assistance on safety matters and actively support mining communities.

The MEU has a long tradition of supporting regional mining communities through sponsorships, community events and our charitable arm, the Mineworkers Trust.

We also campaign for political change on issues that affect our members’ interests, including workplace laws and industry policy.
