BLFQ - Your Union Your Future

Welcome to the BLFQ's website. The Union will always put the protection of members' jobs, wages and working conditions first. But we don't just aim to protect workers, we are continually striving to ensure families are looked after aswell. That's why the Union has fought for a 36 hour week, income protection, funeral benefits, cheaper home loans, free legal assistance, free counselling service, accidental dental plan, free financial planning and more.

If you haven't joined the Union, you should do so quickly because you never know when you may need our help.
