The 2019 AWU Retired Members’ Reunion in Newcastle

 

This year at the annual AWU Retired Members Luncheon in Newcastle the retired members commemorated the 20^th anniversary of the closure of the BHP Newcastle steelworks.

A number of members of the BHP closure steering committee spoke about the role that the AWU played in ensuring that AWU members were paid fair severance payments and were retrained to assist with securing future employment.

 

 

Retired members helped build the AWU into what it is today and will continue building it into the future.

Thank you

for everything that you’ve done for Australian workers and for the next generation of workers coming through today.
