About the Market Research Union
Welcome to the National Union of Workers website for Market Research employees.
The National Union of Workers (NUW) is the voice of Market Research employees across Australia. Through this website, you’ll have access to the latest information about your Industry right at your fingertips.
This website is just a small part of the wider goal of the NUW – which is to help you to improve your wages and conditions; no matter where you work or who you work for.
You might work in a phone room, in the field, or in other areas researching and collecting information; whatever you do, the NUW is here to assist you.
The NUW can help you with a variety of workplace issues including pay rates, cancellation of shifts, Occupational Health and Safety, break times, strike rates, job security, as well as any other issue you, or anyone else at your workplace, may need assistance with.
However, our ability to solve workplace issues depends on our strength at the workplace, which comes directly from workers like you. The more NUW members there are at each Market Research site and across the Industry, the more power you have to win the rights you deserve.
NUW members control and direct the union’s activity. An important principle of unionism is democracy. The NUW firmly believes its members should make decisions for themselves over their wages and conditions. The NUW exists to help you make decisions about how you want your workplace to look, rather than telling you how it should look.
Thanks to workers like you, we are achieving our aim of improved wages and conditions for Market Research workers across the Industry. More Market Research employees now belong to the NUW than ever before.
Market Research workers who join the NUW become part of a young and dynamic organisation committed to advancing the rights of workers. Our Market Research members are also strong and independent; organising themselves at work for their own benefit.
To ensure this improvement continues, Market Research workers need to become active NUW members.
Active union members are the reason the NUW has achieved a union Collective Agreement which sets out the wages and conditions for employees who work in the majority of Market Research companies (see below for a list of companies).
Thanks to our active members right across the Industry, most Market Research employers abide by the terms of the union Collective Agreement. If you would like to see what’s in your Agreement, just click here.
But belonging to the NUW isn’t just about Agreements. This website has plenty of great information about what it means to be a Market Research worker and a NUW member, so please make the most of everything it has to offer. The NUW is your union, and this is your website.
