Training
The CFMEU is a strong supporter of training for construction workers.
The union advocates for training - not only for young apprentices and trainees coming into the industry. Experienced workers are also encouraged to get recognition for skills acquired over the years or to upskill to acquire other tickets or trade qualifications.
Workers Health Centre
The Workers Health Centre was established in the early 1970s and is an independent not-for-profit health and safety centre for NSW workers.
The Centre provides a comprehensive range of high quality services to all NSW workers including:
Member Benefits
Being a member of the CFMEU, you are a part of the combined strength that is committed to improving and maintaining your work and family balance. In addition to the superannuation, long service leave and redundancy benefits which the CFMEU has won, there is a list below of other side-benefits that you get from being a member of the Union.
Construction workers take up the Climate Change challenge
The debate on Australia pricing carbon pollution rages – in Parliament and in the media.
Unions have a responsibility to get involved to protect our members’ best interests. The CFMEU respects blue collar workers concerns about their jobs and the rising costs of living. That’s why the union’s bottom line is: that jobs must be protected and low and middle income earners must be permanently compensated in any pollution pricing plan.
