Awards and Agreements

The United Services Union represents local government, energy, airline and clerical and administrative employees throughout NSW.

The USU is urging NSW local councils to sign referral agreements protecting employees from the federal government's industrial relations changes.

Referral agreements are a key tool in guaranteeing ongoing access to independent conciliation and arbitration. Find out more.
