Welcome to the website of the
United Services Union.

USU General Secretary
Ben Kruse

Ben kruse


The United Services Union was formed on 21 May 2003 following the merge between two branches of the Australian Services Union - the Municipal Employees Union and the Clerical and Administrative Branch of the ASU.

The USU represents local government, energy, airline and clerical and administrative employees throughout NSW.

The strength of the USU lies with our localised structure of Delegates within the metropolitan area and we have offices placed throughout regional NSW staffed by skilled Officials to ensure our members are served by representatives who know the issues that matter.

This website will provide you with information about your rights at work. Please remember that you can also contact your USU delegates, Organiser or the USU Support Team on
1300 136 604.
