Trade Unions

Trade Unions help workers come together, demand a better deal from their employers, and raise standards for all of us.

Unions are the reason we all enjoy paid holiday, maternity leave, and lunch breaks. They will offer you free legal advice if you need it, training and learning opportunities, and even discounts and offers.

You can use the Trade Union of Congress’s Union Finder that best suits your needs:
