Get involved

By getting involved in your union, you can shape union policy, play a key role in campaigning, and work with colleagues to resolve issues in your workplace. Becoming a rep is not the only way; there are plenty of other opportunities to get involved in your union, locally and nationally.

Reps

Recruit

The NEU’s strength comes from having a strong, active, and engaged membership in workplaces up and down the country. No union can exist without its members. And no union can take its membership for granted.
