Unite the Union in the West Midlands is a leading voice for workers’ rights, with a strong historic presence in the region’s manufacturing base—particularly the automotive and components industries. While their roots lie in these sectors, they represent members across virtually every area of the regional economy, from bus drivers and health professionals to bank staff and professional chefs.
They operate through a well-trained and active workplace representative structure, ensuring members’ concerns are addressed promptly and professionally. With the backing of a robust network of district offices, they provide expert support when it’s needed most. Their strength lies in empowering members with the confidence to resolve workplace issues and build strong, effective union organisation—giving workers a genuine voice their employers cannot ignore.
In a culturally diverse region, Unite is deeply committed to challenging inequality and discrimination in all forms. Equality of opportunity is central to their values, and they are proud to champion women’s rights, support marginalised workers, and combat the misuse of agency labour.
They are also a powerful campaigning force. They understand the lasting impact austerity measures have had on their members, their families, and their communities. That’s why they continue to work alongside other organisations to oppose cuts to services and jobs – not just for economic justice, but to protect the very fabric of West Midlands communities.
