How to get involved

Getting involved as a member is easy

Whether it's becoming a rep, joining our political activists team or taking part in one of our campaigns - there are plenty of ways for members to get involved with Usdaw.

Usdaw is a large union with 360,000 members across the country. This huge network of people working together gives the union strength and allows it to make a real difference. By being a member, you're adding your voice and support to important campaigns that drive positive change in workplaces nationwide.

One of the key ways Usdaw helps its members is through workplace representation. The union has over 10,000 workplace representatives who speak up for members when it matters most. These reps give workers a voice in important discussions with employers. If you want to take an active role in the union, you could consider becoming a rep yourself. There are different types of representatives, including general workplace reps, health and safety reps, and union learning reps.

Usdaw's campaigns focus on issues that affect workers' daily lives. By working together as a union, members can achieve more than they could alone. The union provides training and support for its representatives, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills to effectively stand up for workers' rights. Whether it's fighting for fair pay, safer working conditions, or opportunities for learning and development, Usdaw aims to improve the working lives of its members through collective action and representation.

 

One of the great things about unions is they're member driven and give us the great ability to both lead and follow at the same time" - Alan Rosenberg
