Get better pay and better hours! The Mining and Energy Division of the CFMEU represents workers in the mining, oil, gas, port and power industries. We are the principal union in the black and brown coal mining industries, representing the vast majority of workers employed. Why join? Because union members get better pay and conditions than non members. They win that through using their collective bargaining power to get a better deal. Members, prospective members and the public can use this website to find about what this union does and how it works. Members are also able (and encouraged) to contact their District office for any assistance required (click Your Union on the left).
