2025 AWU Year in Review

STRONGER TOGETHER - SINCE 1886

ROADS, FUEL & AUKUS MAIN ROADS The AWU has continued to build union and workplace power across Main Roads in Western Australia.

The AWU Main Roads EBA was approved this year and Main Roads Organiser, Jeff Pratt would like to thank every delegate and member for their input and hard work in securing an event better EBA. Main Roads members will receive a 5%, 4% and 3.5% wage rise over a 3 year EBA.

If you work in Road Maintenance the AWU is your union.

AIR LIQUIDE Organiser Ben Hughes and the Air Liquide AWU bargaining team have secured the Air Liquide Australia Enterprise Agreement 2025. The new EBA includes: • A pay increase of 3.5% this year, 3.25% pay increase in 2026 and a 2.75% pay increase in 2027; • Classifications uplift for team members stuck on lower levels meaning higher base pay; • Reduction in overall hours from 44 hours to 43 hours this year and from 43 hours to 43 hours in 2026 at the same rate of pay; and • The new rate from the EBA back payed to the previous nominal expiry date.

SHIPBUILDING, SUBS & AUKUS The AWU has proudly represented our members at ASC and Cleanaway for many years and we are currently in the middle of negotiations for the Cleanaway submarine agreement. Our union is excited by the prospect of the Henderson upgrade project, Mogami-Class Frigates and AUKUS projects which will provide our members and the West Australian workforce with the skills, research and industrial capacity for decades to come. We will be working directly with the State and Federal Governments and Sovereign Capability Provider Austal and contractors such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to help workers reap the many benefits of these projects.
