You Deserve Dignity, Respect and Equality 

Are you tired of working countless hours outside of work without proper compensation? Do you feel underpaid, overworked, and undervalued? Do you experience faulty contracts and undertake unexpected, irrelevant responsibilities that strain your work? 

Workers in charity, NGO, legal, design and cultural workplaces often work unpaid overtime, face arbitrary funding cuts, redundancies and low pay. They are expected to suffer in silence as part of the job, while dysfunctional management structures and practices, unsustainable workloads and staff burnout are treated as normal.  

You don’t have to face these challenges alone. If you want to fight for better wages, fairer contracts, and better workplace conditions – join UVW today! 

Together, we can win! 

Through legal and industrial action, UVW members have won union recognition, raised wages, challenging unpaid overtime, fought unjust sacking, and much more. Our wins include:

  • Solace Women’s Aid  
  • Glassdoor 
  • Safe Passage International 

As a member you will:  

  • Be part of a growing community demanding dignity, respect and fair pay 
  • Get advice and workplace representation 
  • Be able to take legal action against unfair treatment and unpaid wages 
  • Access meetings, training, and skill-building 
  • Enjoy social events, workshops, and parties with fellow workers 

Join UVW today and organise with workers who understand your experiences and will fight alongside you.
