Your voice at Grill'd.

Grill'd Workers United is a worker-led network helping Grill'd workers understand our rights, support each other, and campaign for better conditions across stores.

GWU is not a union. We are an independent, worker-run network of Grill'd workers. Formal union membership and representation comes through the United Workers Union.

Quick who we are

Built by Grill'd workers, for Grill'd workers.

GWU exists to make it easier for workers to understand what we are entitled to, speak up safely, find support when something goes wrong, and build power across stores.

Two ways to build power.

GWU is how workers connect and organise. Union membership is how workers access formal support and collective industrial power.

The importance of unions

Information helps. Membership changes the balance of power. Joining UWU means you are part of the union that can formally represent workers, bargain and push back.

GWU and UWU are connected, but different.
