About us
Who we are
United Voices of the World is a member-led, direct action, anti-racist, campaigning trade union and we exist to support and empower the most vulnerable groups of precarious, low-paid and migrant workers in the UK.
Our culture and values
Our vision is that low paid, precarious and migrant workers in the UK have power at work, enjoy proper pay and conditions, and are treated with dignity, equality and respect.
Our mission is to achieve this by building power and solidarity in workplaces and communities through collective, legal and direct action.
Our core values are:
Unity – we work together; our power lies in the collective strength of our community
Courage – we are bold and fearless; we dare to do things differently
Participation – we are an open member-led union; every member matters, every voice counts
Diversity – we respect each other and value our differences
Creativity – we are inventive and resourceful and adapt to change; our work is serious, and we have fun doing it!
Solidarity – we stand together with other struggles that share our vision and values
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
