Australian Council of Trade Unions

The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) is the peak body representing trade unions in Australia. Established in 1927, it advocates for workers' rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions. The ACTU brings together various unions to promote collective bargaining and influence government policies that affect workers. By organizing campaigns and negotiations, it aims to improve employment standards and address issues such as job security and inequality. The ACTU plays a vital role in shaping labor laws and ensuring that the voice of Australian workers is heard in political and industrial matters.
