Time For A Sea Change

TIME FOR A SEA CHANGE

The Maritime Union is a strong Union, with a long history of solidarity - working for its members, the community and causes such as the environment, an anti nuclear Pacific, land rights and justice for Aboriginal Australians the Australian republic, independence for East Timor and trade union rights worldwide.

Maritime workers also fought against Australian involvement in the Vietnam War and during the world wars 1 in 8 seafarers died working in the merchant marine - their ships torpedoed or sunk by mines. This is one reason why our union is such a strong campaigner for peace.

The MUA came about as an amalgamation of the Seamen's Union of Australia and the Waterside Workers Federation in 1993.

The MUA membership is made up of stevedoring workers (wharfies or dockers), seafarers, divers and port employees.

The MUA is recognised internationally as one of the world's top unions, providing unrivalled job security, pay and conditions.

The Northern Queensland Branch will soon be amalgamating with the Southern Queensland Branch which will encompass the whole of the maritime industry in Queensland.
