ACTU leaders get another term

Ged Kearney and Dave Oliver will continue to oversee the ACTU as president and secretary after they were re-elected unopposed by trade union delegates.

Ms Kearney has been granted a third term, while Mr Oliver will serve a second, following their endorsement at the council's congress in Melbourne on Tuesday.

Mr Oliver told reporters he was privileged to lead the battle to support working people with Ms Kearney, at what he described as a challenging time for families.

The pair would be fighting in workplaces, on the airwaves and at the ballot box, he vowed.

The re-elected president is looking forward to growing membership numbers.

"I think the key objective of mine ... is to make sure that the union movement remains strong and viable," Ms Kearney said.
