Putting Fair Work at the heart of the response to the corona virus
Our primary role during the corona virus outbreak is to
work with government to ensure that the priority is protecting public health
support workers to ensure they are not exposed to unecessary risk
improve the pay of key workers and ensure that the pay of all workers is protected whether they are currently working or not.
The best way to protect yourself is to join a union. Do it today.
If you are union member you will be able to access advice, support and work together to ensure that employers to the right thing. The advice your union can give will be taiored to the work you do. Links to all union websites are here
If you aren't in a union but want to get together with your colleagues to deal with a problem at work, email info@stuc.org.uk. We can help.
Our Better than Zero campaign supports workers from precarious workplaces to take the first steps to organise together to tackle issues.
