STRONGER TOGETHER - SINCE 1886
RETIRED MEMBERS BBQ
DO YOU KNOW A RETIRED MEMBER? Every AWU member who retires from working in WA is entitled to apply to be a retired member. The Retired membership is $10 a year and retired members receive ongoing union communications, invitations to exclusive events and May Day each year. This year AWU WA Branch President, Andy Hacking hosted a Retired Members BBQ at Wells Park in Kwinana Beach to say thank you to all the retired members south of Perth. The BBQ was a success attend by well over a hundred AWU members who gathered to hear from AWU President, Andy Hacking and WA Branch Secretary, Brad Gandy. Members also heard from Life Members like Henry Rozmianiec who shared his experience of Organising workers at Alcoa’s Pinjarra Refinery and the Goldfields and Karratha in the 80s and 90s. Stories were shared from recent BP and Alcoa shutdowns, EBA campaigns and the many new workplaces represented by the union were discussed as we reflected on the many battles ahead for the mighty Australian Workers’ Union in 2026.
