</p><p>In December 2008, Howes was elected vice president of the Australian Council of Trade Unions. In February 2009 and February 2013, he was re-elected unopposed as the National Secretary of The Australian Workers' Union. An episode of <a href="Australian_Broadcasting_Corporation" title="Australian Broadcasting Corporation">ABC</a> program <i><a href="Australian_Story" title="Australian Story">Australian Story</a></i>, broadcast August 2010,<sup id="cite_ref-australian-story_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-australian-story-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> highlighted his influence within Labor, especially leading up to the <a href="2010_Australian_federal_election" title="2010 Australian federal election">2010 Australian federal election</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-lateline-20-august_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lateline-20-august-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In 2013, Howes was considered for an appointment to the Australian Senate, but subsequently withdrew his nomination in September, while announcing his intention to continue to serve as the national secretary of the Australian Workers Union. In explaining his reasons for stepping down, Howes stated that his public support for gay marriage had drawn the ire of pro-Catholic right-wing members of the ALP. Speaking to reporters, Howes stated that "I don't want to be a wrecker and I don't want to divide. It is clear if I was to be a candidate for this position it would be a divisive, negative and destructive fight in the New South Wales branch of the Australian Labor Party".<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In a speech in February 2014, Howes provoked controversy by arguing that the biggest problem with industrial relations in Australia is the constant changes in the regulatory framework. He called for a new partnership between business, government and unions to collaborate and agree to a framework which could provide a stable industrial relations environment. Howes declared agreement with the <a href="Abbott_government" title="Abbott government">Abbott government</a> saying there had been "unsustainable growth in wages" in some sectors of the economy.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
