#HeartUnions week runs from the 12-18 February 2024 and is a chance to promote the vital work unions do to support everyone at work and encourage them to join a union.

The theme for this year’s campaign is promoting the work unions have done in securing Pay raises.

 

Want a pay rise? Join a union.

As quoted on the TUC website “Union members earn up to £60,000 more than non-union members over their working lives.  Unionised workers are being 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”. (TUC)

With the rise in cost of living now is the time to join a Union.

The United Road Transport Union has successfully supported members nationwide to secure better pay raises and working conditions.
