UNISON has over 100,000 young members. If you are a UNISON member and aged 30 or under you are automatically entitled to participate as a young member. Why not get involved and help us campaign for the issues affecting young workers.
Our young members group works to encourage recruitment, organisation and participation of young workers. The group also provides a powerful voice for young members and the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge.
About
UNISON encourages young members to get involved in every level of the organisation. Find out how to get actively involved in campaigning on issues that affect you, and how becoming a member can help progress your career.
Key issues
