Unite is a democratic trade union
Strongly industrially based, our structure means we can represent your interests effectively in your workplace, no matter whether you work in a factory or in finance. Each industrial sector in Unite has its own policy-making mechanism and its own conference - so there are many opportunities for you to have your say and have a real influence on what Unite says and campaigns for nationally.
The decisions of the industrial conferences go forward for debate to the Unite national conference, which is held every two years. Getting involved and getting active in Unite means not only that you can help your workmates but also allows you to attend, vote and speak at these important conferences and help shape what we do as Britain's leading union.
Do you want to get involved in Unite? To help us organise in the workplace and have a say in how your union works as well? If so, you should contact your nearest regional office - our experienced regional officers and their support staff are there to help and advise you.
Unite is the lead union for the not for profit sector, setting out a progressive agenda to support all who work for charities, professional bodies, housing associations and many other workplaces, from the very large to those that employ only one or two people.
Unite believes that when workers come together, that they don’t only resolve work-related issues, but also change many of the professional issues too. Unions have always been about giving support to one another, therefore the larger the membership the more we are able to achieve. Unite adds value.
Your contribution matters. Your membership matters.
Not only do you receive professional support when the twists and turns of life challenge normal working practices, but through being a member you can contribute to what happens in your workplace, input into the decision making processes in society and also provide strength and support to other workers.
