Whatever job you do you can join Solidarity.

We believe in One Big Union  The idea is not new.

In 1834 Robert Owen formed the Grand National Consolidated Trades Union in an attempt to unite all the workers into one Union.

Initiatives for One Big Union have occurred across the world.

Most notable was the attempt of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or the Wobblies) to organise One Big Union in the United States, Canada, and Australia and the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) in Spain.

We have no particular ideological affinity with either group, nor are we affiliated, but like them we see the sense of organising across trades and professions.

We also allow members to belong to other Unions if they choose.

The reasons why Unions were formed in the past are still valid today.

As individuals in the workplace our bargaining and power position with employers is generally weak.

It is only when we act collectively that we get leverage.

Unions are like an insurance policy with a large number of people paying dues so that if they need help they can call on it. 

Solidarity also provides resources and access to professional advice.

That is part of the meaning of our slogan: - "Together we are strong!"

Solidarity is a National Movement that actively recruits UK and Irish Workers into it's ranks.

We are a Union that will encompass all industrial and service sectors within the economy - in the creation of ONE BIG UNION.

Solidarity is establishing itself as a major independent Trade Union.

Our website offers a means of communicating directly to Workers.
