Issue date
HeartUnions week starts today, running 13-19 February 2023. A chance to tell the story about why unions are vital for everyone at work, and encourage them to join a union.

After working through a global pandemic, union members have been forced to navigate their way through a cost-of-living crisis this year. The trade union movement has risen to meet this immense challenge, campaigning for fair pay, demanding action to protect jobs and supporting members through thick and thin.

HeartUnions is a campaign week of activity where the trade union movement celebrates unions and the good that we do.

During the week we want to do two simple things:

1. demonstrate how brilliant unions are by showcasing all that we achieve for working people – especially during the cost-of-living crisis.

2. encourage as many people as possible who are already union members to ask someone they know to join one too.

Events happening this week:
