Fired Up About Unions

Ever had a crappy job with an even crappier boss who made you feel disposable, powerless, and exploited? Whether you're bagging groceries, writing code, delivering food, or cleaning hotel rooms, Fired Up About Unions is your invitation to join the labour movement and understand how young people are paving the way for unions that are more democratic, inclusive, and ready to fight. 

Private companies and politicians try to convince us that unions are outdated institutions run by outsiders, but young people aren't buying it. We know that unions are built by workers, for workers. Unions remain one of the most powerful tools workers have to fight for dignity, democracy, and a fair share of the wealth they create. In workplaces around the world, young people are leading a wave of bold union campaigns to win real power on the job. From coffee shops and classrooms to warehouses and hospitals, we are witnessing the next generation of workers coming together to win better pay, safer conditions, and job security in increasingly unstable economies. Fired Up About Unions is a practical beginner’s guide to what unions are, how they work, and why they matter. This is your call to action and guide to building worker power.
