The Plumbers Union is one of the fastest growing and most progressive trade unions in Australia. Our record of protecting workers' rights and entitlements since 1850 is second to none. We have been Federally registered since 1912. An important part of this proud union is the continued protection of our Trade Licensing/Registration systems that have... been under constant attack by government legislative changes since their inception. As a trade union we have been at the forefront of protecting the health of the nation through training and trade development within the trade and we can provide industry-based training to all of our members. Most importantly, our Union has won the right to vastly improved wages and conditions for our members through enterprise bargaining agreements, awards and site agreements.. We are a Union that puts our members first. We have general meetings where members are welcome to attend to voice their opinion. We are proud of this democratic system and encourage all of our members to attend. Surveys consistently show better wages and conditions for Union members. It stands to reason that no individual worker standing alone can hope to bargain with an employer on an equal footing. The PPTEU ensures that workers combine their strength to speak with one voice. We also empower workers on the job through extensive training programs to help them: The PPTEU also have a proud history of advancing education, improving social welfare and promoting human rights. The PPTEU has its own Registered Training Organisation in the name of CEPUTEC (RTO 4612) and commenced operation in June 1997 with an aim to provide flexible learning and assessment opportunities to members, and others working in the plumbing industry. We provide free training to members and their family to enhance employment opportunities or to simply obtain skills such as first aid, computer literacy, etc. Improving social welfare and promoting human rights.
