With a history stretching back over a century, the Mining and Energy Union and its predecessors have been front and centre at many of the moments that made Australia.
We’re proud to share Yesterday’s Stories – a video series that captures some of the incredible moments from Mining unionism.
Because, while we’re still on the frontline on fighting for a fairer and better country, it’s those who went before us that continue to inspire us.
