International

Introduction

It is recognised that the influences on the working lives of Unite members now extend far beyond the borders of the UK and Ireland.
 
Developments and decisions taken at an international level, often by multi-national companies, can have a serious impact on Unite and its members. Unite can no longer represent effectively the interests of its members, without being active on the international stage.
This section of the website illustrates the extent and variety of the international work Unite is engaged in.
 
Workers Uniting - The Global Union
 
Workers Uniting the global union
“Workers Uniting will challenge exploitation anywhere in the global economy, since it is fundamentally unjust and is destructive of decent living standards everywhere.” Founding Constitution, signed July 2, 2008
 
Workers Uniting brings together Unite, the biggest union in the UK and Ireland, with the United Steelworkers, the largest industrial union in North America. Click here for the Workers Uniting Website
