Young members

How young is young?
If you're under 27 years of age then you can get involved with UNISON's young members. We know that there are many members who are still young at heart, but we have to draw the line somewhere!

Keep the NHS working

Young workers need UNISON.
UNISON needs young members.

If you are not already a member of UNISON we want you to join our winning team. Why? Because working together means we can:

make a positive difference to your pay, conditions, and workplace
support each other when things go wrong at work
build a more effective union that gets things done

Together with our young members, UNISON is building a union that
For most of us being a young worker is a fantastic experience - a satisfying job, learning new skills, making money and new friends. Sadly, for many young people it just isn't like that. Low pay, dangerous jobs, harassment, and bullying can make working a nightmare.

organises to win improved working conditions and pay
campaigns for better rights, and
actively challenges harassment, bullying and inequality.

Over 75,000 young workers have already made the decision to join UNISON. They are already making a significant impact in the union's bargaining and campaigning agenda.
