Young Members

UNISON boasts 50,000 young members and rising, one of the fastest increasing young memberships in an UK trade union. Where young people are part of a workforce represented by a trade union they get a better deal, including improved pay and career opportunities, and are less at risk from exploitation, accidents and injury compared to young workers in non-unionised workplaces. That's why our priority is to recruit and support more young members

UNISON young members have a strong voice in the union through young members forums, held both regionally and nationally. Members of the regional young members forums work together to ensure that the opinions and issues of young members are represented within your region. regional young members forums feed their regional work into national campaigns and help ensure the priorities of their region reflect the concerns of young workers.
