UNI Global Union

Who We Are: UNI Global Union, based in Nyon, Switzerland, represents more than 20 million workers from over 150 different countries in the fastest growing sectors in the world – skills and services. The majority of new jobs are expected to be in these sectors in the coming decades. UNI and our affiliates in all regions are driven to ensure these jobs are decent and workers' rights are protected, especially the right to join a union and bargain collectively. Our Mission: To grow and strengthen affiliated unions and build worker power in the services and allied sectors. UNI Global Union is working with its member unions to change the rules of the game in the global labour market. The UNI Breaking Through strategy is our plan to organise the global service sector workforce and ensure respect and dignity in the global workplace. How We Do It: UNI focuses on worker organizing and regulatory action to create a better world for working people. UNI is fighting for jobs with social security and justice for all to improve workplaces and raise employment standards in the services and allied sectors. UNI has signed more than 50 global agreements with multinational companies to agree to workers' rights standards for all of these companies' workers worldwide. How We Got Here: UNI was created on January 1, 2000, by members of The Communications International, FIET the International Graphical Federation and the Media and Entertainment International.
