Unite – A campaigning UnionUnite takes the lead in campaigning formembers across the not for profit sectorand to defend services from cuts.

We are campaigning for long-termsustainable funding, and to win qualitypay, pensions, terms and conditions andworkplace policies. We believe that theservices provided by our members shouldnot be ‘marketised’ as this results in arace to the bottom.

Our aim is to see workplaces free frombullying and discrimination; build safework environments, free from stress,where workers have a good work-lifebalance and to create opportunitiesfor learning and development bothprofessionally and personally.

Unite – In YOUR workplaceUnite represents and supports thousandsof members across a diverse range ofnot for profit organisations and negotiateson behalf of workers in hundreds oforganisations.

Our membership covers members insocial care, housing associations, the arts,

mental health and disability organisations,poverty and children’s chartities, education,youth and play workers, legal, advice,community organisations, faith bodies,international aid, environmental, NGOs,campaign groups, animal welfarechartities, as well as funding agenciesand umbrella bodies for the sector.

Unite – Supporting you all the wayOnly by standing together can we makea difference. At a time when funding isbeing cut, our services are being cut andworkers are seeing attacks on their payand conditions, we believe that togetherwe are stronger.

We have successfully campaigned to stopthe erosion of pay and conditions forthousands of workers in the sector andreversed decisions that would havewiped out many services delivered byour members across the sector.

Unite – Your union!Unite can make a difference to you,your colleagues, your organisation, yourservice users and your society.
