How IWUA is structured
By subscribing to Red Union Support Hub, you're joining a network of institutions that together can provide a more reliable service than any you'd receive from a singular, often distracted, institution.
Four components of your protection
- Red Union Support Hub subscription - the shared services layer behind every RUSH-affiliated association.
- IWUA Ltd membership - a membership to the only professional body run by workers, for workers.
- IWUA Inc membership (VWorkers First Inc, ABN 63 454 288 322) - providing workplace protection and legal funding for workplace and professional issues.
- Legal protection through Red Protect's referral and funding network.
What makes IWUA's structure different
- Members' interests are our first and only interests.
- Zero party political contributions - the constitution makes executives personally liable for any breach.
- Executive refreshment - the State Executive changes every two years.
- Separation of policy determination and service provision.
- Devolved branch structure with automatic fee-sharing and local decision-making.
- Policy developments focused on member benefits, driven by members themselves.
The IWUA constitutions
The IWUA Ltd constitution provides the basis for a new type of organisation that focuses exclusively on protecting and promoting the workplace interests of its members.
