The Maritime Union of Australia - Here to Stay

The Maritime Union of Australia is among the strongest and most active, rank-and-file led trade unions across the nation.

Tracing its roots back to 1872, for well over a century we have fought for workers' rights, entitlements, and the common good.

The MUA is the union for those working in industries such as:

• Port services and container terminals
• Stevedoring
• Shipping
• Seafaring
• Offshore oil and gas industries
• Ferries
• Diving
