Unite the Union is Britain’s largest trade union, representing about 1.5 million members across all kinds of workplaces. It was formed through a merger between the T&G and Amicus and operates as a democratic, campaigning organization that defends members’ interests in the workplace. The union seeks to bring unorganised workers into collective representation, promotes equality for all, and engages politically on behalf of its members. Based in Britain and active across the economy, Unite positions itself as a modern, global labor organization with links to unions worldwide to confront the challenges of the globalised economy. In 2026 it announced plans to expand facilities to Glasgow, illustrating ongoing geographic growth.
