SUMMARY:HeartUnions week 2025
DESCRIPTION:HeartUnions week is 10-16 February 2025. A chance to tell the story about why unions are vital for everyone at work\, and encourage them to join a union.\n\n\nUnions make work pay\nWorking people need change. Unions have been campaigning for years to push the government to deliver higher pay and stronger workers’ rights. And we’re closer than ever to delivering transformative change for working people. \nThe Government’s plan to Make Work Pay is making its way through parliament and could become law later this year. This plan was developed with unions and would be the biggest upgrade of workers’ rights in a generation. \nThis shows the difference that unions make\, delivering higher pay and stronger workers’ rights in Westminster. And unions are making work pay up and down the country too – union members earn tens of thousands more than non-union members over their working lives. Union members have won significant pay rises in both the public and private sectors in recent years. So if you want to make work pay\, it’s time to join a union. \nWhat’s HeartUnions about?\nHeartUnions is a campaign week of activity where the trade union movement celebrates unions and the good that we do. \nDuring the week we want to do two simple things: \n1. demonstrate how brilliant unions are by showcasing all that we achieve for working people. \n2. encourage as many people as possible who are already union members to ask someone they know to join one too. \nSo\, during the run up to HeartUnions week – and during the week itself – we’ll be sharing stories that show unions’ impact and providing reps and members with resources to help them get more people to join a union. \nFind out how you can take part in HeartUnions week \nContact us\nFor more information about HeartUnions please email cmcgurran@tuc.org.uk.
