HeartUnions week is a national campaign inviting all trade unions and all comrades from across the UK to share their stories of worker support and struggles for fair wages and better working conditions.

Go out and share with your co-workers at Bournemouth University and beyond why joining a union is vital for better, safer, future-oriented workplaces.

The TUC homepages argues:

“Union members earn up to £60,000 more than non-union members over their working lives. Unionised workers are paid on average five percent more than other similar workers. Based on average pay, the typical union pay premium is to £12,800 over a decade. So if you want a pay rise, it’s time to join a union.

In the last year, working peoples have been forced to navigate their way through a cost-of-living crisis. The trade union movement has risen to meet this immense challenge, winning significant pay rises and improvements to working conditions for workers in every sector.”

At BU, trade unions like UCU and UNISON support workers individually and collectively.

Why not invite friends, family, neighbours, colleagues to check the TUC “Join a Union Tool“?
