UNISON is now, officially, the UK’s largest union. We’ve come through the toughest years of public service cuts and kept our union strong. At a time when we might have expected to see a collapse in membership, UNISON has held steady. We did that by keeping our focus on what’s important to members, fighting for their jobs and their pay and high-profile campaigning.

We’ve minimised the impact of austerity by recruiting more strongly than ever before, but job losses have still meant membership losses. However, now we have the chance to turn the tide – and grow our union.

But why is it so important to be bigger?

As someone once said, size matters! Very simply, more members means a stronger union – a louder and stronger voice in pay negotiations, for example. And – to take it to a higher level! – we passionately believe that every single person working in public services would benefit from being in a union and we all have a real moral duty to reach out to them. Whether you’re working in a town hall or a private care home, you are a public service worker and you need the strength of UNISON around you.

But I’m already a member, what’s all this got to do with me?

Everything! You’re in the perfect position to tell your colleagues who aren’t members, why they should join UNISON. Or talk to your friends and family. If you know a public service worker who isn’t a member of UNISON, start talking.
