Coal Wage Theft Action
Coal Workers Justice
Action for Coal Miners
Are you a victim of what One Nation Senate Malcolm Roberts exposed casual coal miners ‘wage theft.’ (7 Feb 2024) The Senate passed a motion that ‘requires the government to investigate’ and ‘facilitate the reimbursement of the underpayments’ of coal miners.

The Fair Work Ombudsman has established a process for accepting from us our assessments of individual coal miner’s underpayments. This is a major step toward reimbursement.
If you are or have been a casual labour hire coal miner don’t miss your chance to be reimbursed for any underpayments. We are actively lodging claims with the Ombudsman.
What we are doing:
If you join IWUA-Coal we
- Undertake a confidential assessment of how much you are likely to have been underpaid. (from 2013)
- Provide you a personal statement of how much you are likely owed
- Lodge your claim with the Ombudsman.
- Follow through your claim with the Ombudsman
