Young Members

Who needs a Union?

UNISON boasts 75,000 young members and rising, one of the fastest increasing young memberships in a 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.

In the North West, we have more than 18,000 young members

How young is young?

To participate in UNISON's young members' activities you need to be 26 years of age or under.

Regional Young Members Forum

Young members representatives from Branches across the North West meet together four times a year to look at issues and campaigns which effect young workers. Currently, these include:

  • Lowering the voting age to 16
  • Protection of the environment
  • Student membership
