Join a Trade Union
Many
of the rights we enjoy at work have been won by union campaigning. Trade unions
campaign to protect and improve the conditions of their members, working people.
Workplaces with active trade union members often benefit from better wages,
safer workplaces and better conditions at work as the trade union can negotiate
these improvements with the employer. Trade unions both provide education and
encourage employers to offer training to their employees, allowing employees
to develop and increase their skills and therefore giving them more opportunities.
Trade unions provide advice, protection and representation at work.
