8 – 14 February 2021
Heart UNISON is part of Heart Unions Week, the TUC’s annual event to celebrate unions, to make sure everyone knows why we’re vital at work, and to encourage everyone to join one.
Louder, better, safer, stronger
The more of us in UNISON there are…
the louder our collective voice will be with employers and the government..
the better we can demonstrate the importance of public services and represent their diverse and dedicated workforce…
the safer we can make workplaces and working conditions all over the UK…
and the stronger we can make our rights at work – not just defending them but progressing them.
So that’s at least four great reasons to spend Heart Unions Week talking proudly about everything unions have achieved, and why it’s the perfect time to ask your colleagues to join UNISON. Here’s how you can help share the love throughout Heart Unions Week – there are loads of ideas below!

Actions speak louder than words
