The Union of Christmas Island Workers (UCIW) is a trade union in Christmas Island, the non self-governing territory of Australia. It represents workers on the island, and is affiliated with the Australian Council of Trade Unions.
Gordon Bennett, who arrived to head the organization in 1979, is still revered by the Malay and Chinese population of the island for his role in advocating for their labour rights.[1]
