This HeartUnions Week we’re shining a spotlight on why it pays to be a union member.

When workers join together they increase their bargaining power. That’s why unionised workplaces deliver higher pay, safer conditions and better job security.

Through organising in their unions millions of workers are winning new rights at work . Sick pay from day one, guaranteed-hours contracts and an end to fire-and-rehire.

That’s the difference unions make. And it’s why we’ll keep fighting for fair wages and secure conditions so every worker can thrive, not just survive.

With the cost of living putting real pressure on household budgets there’s never been a more important time to join a union.

When unions do well working people do well.

❤️

2026 is the year of green activity across the whole union movement. Please visit Hub https://www.unison.org.uk/2026-unison-year-of-green-activity/
Over 90% of members surveyed said they were concerned about climate change and many of our members are directly involved in preventing, preparing for and protecting against the impacts of climate change all while extreme weather is making us all increasing uncomfortable and unsafe in our jobs.
The direct impacts of climate change on public finances, on public health, the cost-of-living crisis (food and energy costs) and all other areas of public policy are plain to see and all experts now agree that the costs (both financial and ecological) of doing nothing far outweigh the costs action.
