Trade Unions using Organise

We encourage our members to join a trade union for representation at work and collective bargaining. We’re a team deeply passionate about using technology to empower worker voice in collective bargaining. Organise is not a union, nor are we trying to be one.

How unions are using Organise:

🤳🏽 Powerful mobilisation tools

Create actions around issues your members care about and want to see improved at work. These can be issues like wages, benefits, conditions, & more. Our free-to-use tools include confidential workplace petitions, open letters, anonymised surveys, email to MP actions, write to local paper.

✊ Expressing solidarity

Work to build solidarity beyond your core activists on top worker issues and align on the actions you are willing to take to achieve them. Build a wider network through your Organise union hub who you can communicate with in solidarity.

🔥 Invite workers to join your union

Invite participants in your campaigns to join your union, helping reach a wider audience beyond the traditional activist base.

FAQs

Are you competing with Unions?

No. We hope to support growing the workers rights movement. Organise can be used by workers to discuss and determine their path to power. In some cases this may be sending a letter to management via Organise. In others, it could be to contact / involve a union organiser, start a petition or run a survey to map what’s happening on the ground. We are trying to build a platform for worker voice, and enable the workers, collectively, to decide on their path forward. We hope to be one of many complementary tools to building power.

Do you partner with unions?

Yes. We love to collaborate with unions, please send us an email on action@organise.network if you’d like to talk it through.

Is Organise a for-profit company?

Yes. Organise is a social enterprise. This means we are a for-profit with a social mission lock in our articles and commitment to the following public benefit to: “give people the tools, network and confidence to improve their rights and benefits in their working lives.” We hope to build a sustainable company that has one customer — the worker. Our backgrounds as a team are from the campaigning and tech industry — this is what we know.

Who are your backers/investors?
