This site is an experiment in bringing together unionists to strengthen our collective knowledge and skills in communication strategies and design.

Who are we?

Creative Unions is the brainchild of Atosha McCaw and Alex White, two campaign officers at the NTEU. We decided to start this project to strengthen and build on the union movement’s knowledge and skills of campaigning, communication and design.

A large part of our jobs is running campaigns, communicating with members and the community, and designing a range of material both online and physical.

Creative Unions is a not-for-profit social venture in strengthening trade union communications and design. Creative Unions is not affiliated in any way with the NTEU.

What are we doing?

We are hoping that we can work with other unionists with similar roles and interests to increase our collective abilities and experience.

Although we are based in Australia, we want this site – like the union movement – to be international.

The union movement runs campaigns and communicates with tens of thousands of members each day. Union campaigns have improved the working lives of millions of Australians, and billions world-wide.
