Applications close: 6 Dec 2024, Friday, at 5pm
The Transport Workers' Union of Australia (TWU) is one of Australia's leading campaigning trade unions, holding some of the biggest companies in the world to account over their treatment of workers, such as Qantas, Amazon and the supermarket giants.
The TWU has led the charge in highlighting and tackling exploitation in the gig economy, pressuring companies and the government to address chronic underpayments and deadly pressures on food delivery riders and rideshare drivers.
The TWU has cemented its role as a powerful voice for aviation workers, not only playing an integral role in rebuilding the industry, fighting for a reset of decent jobs, but tackling systemic attacks on workers including successfully fighting Qantas' illegal outsourcing of almost 2000 ground crew and cabin cleaners.
Since it was founded, the TWU has represented the interests of truck drivers and logistics workers, exposing the financial pressures by major retailers, manufacturers, and oil companies on road transport – Australia's deadliest industry.
The TWU is seeking an experienced senior administrative officer to assist the day-to-day functions of a dynamic and fast-paced union office and team as well as provide executive & administrative support to the National & National Assistant Secretaries. A competitive salary is on offer to the successful candidate.
