TWU Super is ok but in terms of the growth I would find another super fund as the way my nest egg is going to retire is not looking good. Bad performing.

Have been a member for over 30 years.
I put up with the crappy returns and high fees, because I thought they are MY industry fund and they would look after me.
I have been trying to get some money out to pay my mortgage, it is over a month since I started filling in paperwork and applying for my money, they keep putting road block after road block, to avoid me doing this.
They love getting your money and charging you fees, but try getting money out its a different story.

TWU had a general meeting last year, they announced it to me and advised me they would let me know what the date would be, that’s all I heard . When I emailed back to find out when I was greeted with silence, no response from 2 emails sent to them. All I know is they were taken over by another Superannuation company. I saw a billboard over the M4 , Cumberland hwy over the M4 doing the marketing spiel, I was furious when I saw this and still am. I want my money back and to think that bloody prick of a primeinister from Labor made super compulsory regardless if they rip you off or not. Have you heard of a super company that is not for profit???? Where do profits come from and wages ????

They were amalgamated with another super company and moved to Melbourne where they were no longer responsible for funds in NSW.
