The Maritime Union of Australia represents around 11,000 Australian men and women - stevedoring workers (wharfies), seafarers, divers and port workers. They work around the clock, up towering cranes on the nation's docks, below in the ocean depths and at sea on ships and rigs.
As a key affiliate of the International Transport Workers' Federation, the union also helps represent 320,000 of the world's seafarers fighting for wage justice and protection against human rights abuses.
