Younionize is about you—singular and plural—joining unions. It is an international join-up service, attached to a global union database with links to as much information and as many join-up forms as possible.
Studies have shown again and again that the main reason people don't join unions is because they haven't been asked. So let's get that out of the way first.   "Hey... would you like to join a union?" Because to it bluntly: in order to improve things, unions need you as much as you need them. Click here» to Younionize.		The global union directory helps you find the right union, and helps unions tell you more about what they do. Click here»

Why join a union?
Unions do more than just converting membership fees into pay rises. They do what you (plural) decide they should. Unions are by far the largest democratic force in the world, with an agenda being developed and applied by members.

Work takes up about a third of your life; you have the right to spend that time with dignity. You deserve a voice in how things are run. Sure, your rights at work need protecting, but they also need extending. Many unions are now seeking to democratise the workplace: to challenge the master-servant relationship; to make managers more accountable; and to challenge the current model of globalisation, which is driven by a simplistic quest for profit.

Some people perceive obstacles which prevent them from joining. One of the main goals of the Younionize project is to find ways around these obstacles. When you fill out the Younionize form it will send a secure and confidential message to us. We then make certain details available by way of a passworded web page. When an officially designated union rep contacts us about your listing, we send them the contact information you supplied. At no other point are your details accessible.
