About us
Working students campaign
Unite's working
students campaign aims to promote trade union awareness to students
whilst campaigning with them for better working rights and respect
at work. Our objective is to unite working students at universities
and in the workplace so they can support each other and campaign
for better working rights using our resources and knowledge. We do
this as working students get a raw deal at work, we want to change
that and we want to revitalise our movement with their
involvement.
Trade unions
A trade
union is an organisation that represents people at work. They act
to protect and improve peoples pay and conditions of employment.
They also campaign for laws and policies, which will help people
both at home and at work.
