Electrical Trades Union of Australia (ETU)
Details
Description
The Electrical Trades Union of Australia (ETU) is the industry body representing electricians in Australia. In 2022, it had over 30,000 members.
Established in 1912, the ETU is a division of the Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union (CEPU), and is the largest of the three divisions.
Traditionally, the ETU has supported left- or centre-left political parties. However, in November 2019, the ETU ceased donations to the federal Labor party over Anthony Albanese's government supporting free trade agreements.
