The AMWU (The Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union) and The AWU (The Australian Workers' Union) have formed an alliance 
aimed at expanding Australian manufacturing and best practice. The Alliance is a formal expression of our combined Unions' commitment to manufacturing in this country and our determination to see it prosper and thrive.
The AWU & AMWU represent more than 250,000 workers
Our two unions, together, represent more than 250,000 Australian workers in manufacturing sub sectors and industries across the economy. The AMWU and The AWU are proud of our members that work in manufacturing in Australia and see their contribution through this industry as an integral part of the Australian economy and our country's security.
In this time of unprecedented global financial crisis the viability of the Australian manufacturing industy is seriously under threat. These extradordinary circumstances have encouraged us to put our two unions' differences aside and come together to form a strategic alliance.
Over coming months this manufacturing alliance will release discussion papers and undertake a leadership dialogue with manufacturing workers, company leaders and government to formulate strategies for building a stronger and more prosperous manufacturing industry in Australia.
To continue to be a strong, secure and prosperous country we must be a country that makes things.
