When your working life finishes, you can stay with the union by becoming part of our Retired Members' Division.

It costs  just $5 per year to remain a member, and you'll continue to enjoy all of the benefits of AMWU membership, including regular publications, and discounts.

"Retired workers still have a significant contribution to make in society, and the Retired Members' Division gives you the opportunity to continue being active around issues of fairness and justice for working people.

Recently, the RMD has fought for increases in the weekly pension, to help retirees, and against the WorkChoices legislation, which attacked the conditions that we won and wanted to make sure stayed around for our grandkids to enjoy."

If you're leaving the workforce soon, or have already left, I encourgage you to get involved with us today. Just call the union HelpDesk on 1300 732 698.
