Coal Wage Theft?
Coal Workers Justice
Information for Coal Miners
Are you a victim of what One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts says is wage theft? (Australian Senate 7 Feb 2024)
If you’re a casual coal miner employed by a labour hire firm you could be owed around $150,000 or more.
We will assess how much you are likely owed and lodge your information.
A major report announced in the Australian Parliament details that miners in the black coal sector in the Hunter Valley and Southern Queensland are victims of large-scale wage theft. The average wage theft is reported as around $32,000 a year.
The Australian Government is required to investigate underpayments and to "facilitate reimbursement". See more here.
IWUA is a truly independent workers union.
IWUA will:
- Undertake a confidential assessment of how much you are likely to have been underpaid.
- Provide you a personal statement of how much you are likely owed
- Lodge and register your claim for reimbursement
- Follow through to chase your claim with the ombudsman.*
