Welcome

FROM THE STATE SECRETARY
BRAD O’CARROLL

Welcome to the Plumbers Union Website. The Plumbers Union is a strong union, focussed on achieving the best possible outcomes for our members and our industry.

Throughout the site, you will find the most relevant information regarding the upcoming EBA Negotiations as well as the many benefits that are available to you as a member of the union. I would encourage you to take the time to review the site and make sure that you are getting the most out of your union membership.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our members who donated to our Industry Flood Relief Appeal. The total amount pledged directly by union members to date is $32,271.79. This is another demonstration of what we can achieve if we all pull together for a common goal.
