MEU reaffirms support for the ACTU

Mining and Energy Union < 1 mins read

The Mining and Energy Union has today reaffirmed its support for the ACTU and does not support the establishment of an alternative grouping of blue-collar unions. 

MEU General President Tony Maher said that continuing to stand together through the ACTU was the best path forward.

“In a number of countries there are multiple peak councils. Australia has a proud tradition of a united labour movement and we believe this is the best way to serve working people.”
