The Australian Workers' Union (AWU) is one of Australia's largest and oldest trade unions. It traces its origins to unions founded in the pastoral and mining industries in the late 1880s and it currently has approximately 80,000 members.
According to the moderately conservative publication, the Australian Financial Review, the AWU is one of the most powerful unions in the Labor Right faction of the Australian Labor Party.[2]
