The Offshore Alliance
Offshore Alliance is a partnership between the Maritime Union of Australia and the Australian Workers' Union.
Formed in 2018, the partnership covers every position within the offshore industry, including but not limited to:
- Maintenance and inspection workers
- Engineers and construction workers
- Data analysts and ROV pilots
- Cooks and other rig staff
- Paramedics and other essential workers
Within the short existence of Offshore Alliance, we have been able to deliver impressive outcomes that have benefited a large number of offshore oil and gas workers, including:
- Better enterprise agreements, replacing common law contracts that didn’t fit the offshore industry
- Increased pay and job security with producing giants such as Woodside, Chevron, and Shell
- Negotiated, union led standards industry wide across the Western coast of Australia
- An end to casual work for regularly rostered offshore workers
- Improved safety standards across the offshore oil and gas industry
Offshore Alliance is also advocating for the future. With the renewed focus on sustainable energy, we're fighting for an industry that can aid in and be an essential part of the transition to renewable energy.
By doing this, Offshore Alliance is ensuring that offshore rig workers have job certainty, substantial pay, and a bright future for years to come.
