Sisters to the Front

A professional network for women workers of trade unions

We provide support and a safe space to discuss and address issues impacting us as women workers within the trade union movement.

Women workers in trade unions have a unique and powerful voice.  By being more organised, connected and trained to address our needs as women workers and trade unionists, we will be better positioned to advance the roles of women in the trade union movement.

We can provide advice, support, signposting and we run regular workshops events for women, non-binary and trans members of UWU, as well as public engagement.
