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
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.
