USHU - Unité et Solidarité hors Union

24/09/2026

We see how EU HR policy shapes our day-to-day work - and we’re here to make it clear! From mobility and workload to access, fairness, and support, these rules touch every decision we make. We’ve walked the corridors of delegations and HQ, so we know what works and what needs fixing. Want practical tips and real examples from people who live this reality? Visit https://wix.to/J3Jf9iI and join the conversation!

Change should feel visible, explainable, and human - and we make it that way! We represent colleagues across all staff categories in EU Delegations and EEAS HQ, so we know what questions matter and what answers help. We explain what’s changing, why it matters, and where your concerns are being carried. We listen. We act. We stand with you in Brussels and beyond! Read more: https://wix.to/bwbqSPx

5 years ago we launched our website with our "You are not alone" campaign: https://www.ushu.eu/membership

It has developed into a single space to manage memberships, stay in touch with colleagues and to share our regular newsletters and campaigns.

Together with you and a dedicated team of USHU members with roots in EU Delegations, we have achieved the majority of our USHU TARGETS since 2021. USHU has been instrumental in improving working conditions for all staff categories.⁣

USHU has served to amplify the voices of thousands of underrepresented staff in EU DEL – out of sight, out of mind and often neglected and far from the decision makers in Brussels. USHU has strengthened advocacy on EU DEL issues, obtained greater staff engagement through growing USHU membership and increased policy dialogue with EEAS and Commission Managers. ⁣
