Rights On Site
Rights on Site is a campaign for the 900,000 construction workers across Australia who do not have the same rights in their workplace as all other Australian workers.
The Combined Construction Unions is an alliance of five unions representing the tradies and labourers at the heart of Australia’s construction industry.
Across Australia 900,000 workers, including bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, crane operators, welders and plumbers, make their living on construction sites, or in the shops and factories that supply them.
Many of these workers are members of our unions – the Australian Workers Union (AWU), the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU), the Electrical Trades Union (ETU), Plumbing Trades Employees Union (PTEU) and the CFMEU Construction Division.
The Combined Construction Unions have a proud history of collective achievement, working together to produce high quality Australian infrastructure while protecting the health and safety of workers in a dangerous industry.
We will now use our combined resources to fight the harsh and unfair building industry laws introduced by the Howard Government.
