UNISON is involved in a number of campaigns to improve the working conditions for young members to ensure that they are at less risk from exploitation and have improved pay and career opportunities. 

For example, according to research by UNISON, young people are doing jobs similar to adult workers, but for much lower wages.  The National Minimum Wage, introduced by the government in 1999, does not cover workers under the age of 18, and provides a lower rate for workers aged 18 to 21.   UNISON has long argued that young workers should be covered by the full rate of National Minimum Wage.

Where young people are part of a workforce represented by a trade union they get a better deal, including improved pay and career opportunities, and are less at risk from exploitation, accidents and injury compared to young workers in non-unionised workplaces. That's why our priority is to recruit and support more young members.
