HeartUnions week 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.
During the week Heart Unions are asking that you 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.
So, during the run up to HeartUnions week – and during the week itself – Heart Unions will be sharing stories that show unions’ impact and providing reps and members with resources to help them get more people to join a union.”
When you’re sharing your stories don’t forget to use the hashtag #HeartUnions and use it to keep in touch with what the TUC and unions are saying, and to publicise your own activities.
Over the last year unions have demonstrated their relevance and effectiveness in helping working people like never before.
Use #HeartUnions to say loudly and proudly – unions are winning for working people, every worker needs a union.
