Join the Movement

The WMWA was established in 2013 to bring together the country’s two biggest mining Unions, the Australian Workers’ Union, and the CFMEU – Mining & Energy Division. The alliance plays a vital role in campaigning to improve the working lives of the workers employed by the world’s largest iron ore miners, in their Pilbara operations.
