Dear young Europeans,

What is a union? Can EU citizens join unions? What could unions do to support and defend our rights to work?

Earlier this week, the Young Europeans Network hosted a webinar on workers' rights. One of our guest speakers, Henry Lopez, General Secretary of IWGB Union, gave an overview of unions and the support available.

Not sure which union would fit your job? Find a union for you on this TUC website.

Post-Brexit and with the impact of COVID on workers' rights, Henry believes this is the best moment to think about joining a union as EU citizens. You can listen to Henry's presentation in the video below.

What is a trade union and why should I join one? Presentation from Henry Lopez, General Secretary, IWGB Union.

Best wishes,
