About
The LHMU is an organisation of over 120,000 Australian workers, united by our belief in the dignity of workers and the right to fair and just treatment at work. We are an active union, and we are passionate about organising to win.
We are people of diverse races, genders and ages, from every State and Territory, but we are one union. We have different languages, sexual orientations and physical abilities, but we have the same goal – to be agents of positive social change, to continuously fight for the type of society we believe in. Many of us work on a casual or part-time basis, 60% of us are women, and half of us are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. We derive great strength from this diversity.
When you are a member of the LHMU, you stand together with thousands of workers in your industry who all believe that a fairer, better society is possible.

History
LHMU traces its history back through over 100 years of fighting to improve workers’ lives. Many different unions have come together over the years to form the present day LHMU; they have all been committed to building active, worker-led organisations. The benefits we all enjoy today were won by the collective struggle of workers who came before us.
