Organising
Strategy for Growth

Maggie HazelhurstUnite is the largest trade Union in Britain and Ireland, and like any other is facing some of the biggest challenges we have ever had to face within the trade union movement under this coalition government.   Alongside this we recognise that the decline in Unite membership cannot continue hence the Strategy for Growth – led by the National Organising Department.

Organising the unorganised through strategic campaigning is the focus with key objectives and principles:

• Organising by Sector
• Rebuilding the shop steward/workplace rep movement by site, company, sector, and globally
• Winning for workers
• Building sector combines, bringing together activists from across the sector
• Build sector agreements

Organising is not simply recruitment, it is about building sustainable workplace organisation, working with activists developing them to win and grow within their workplace.   To encourage them to take an interest outside of their workplaces and build a trade union movement that will benefit all workers in all sectors of the economy to help create a society that we can all be proud of.
