National United Voice

About CEPU

The CEPU national union was forged out of four unions who covered workers in three essential industries: electrical, communication & plumbing. The combined strength of all these workers is the power behind the CEPU national union. Join the fight to defend your work rights.

Unions are highly regulated by legislation and rules. Governance is the system of laws, rules, practices & processes by which the union itself is directed and controlled. It’s about working in the best interest of our members and being accountable to our members for decisions about the internal operation of the union. The role of governance is to ensure the union complies with the law & has policies and practices in place to guarantee good corporate governance.
