| What is
the UNI Passport ?
|
|
In a
rapidly globalising economy more staff than ever before are working
abroad, either on a short or long term basis. Expatriates face all kinds
of challenges - at work and in the very business of living abroad.
Work related issues, social matters, pensions and qualifications are
obvious examples of the difficulties that can crop up. So working abroad
you need - more than ever - the help of a trade union.
The UNI Passport helps ensure that you take your access to trade unions
with you when you move abroad to work. How
do I get a UNI Passport?
Unions wishing to issue UNI
passports to their members are required to follow the following
procedure:
-
The
first step entails the distribution by the union to its members of a
four-page leaflet on the passport, including an order form, together
with the booklet Working Abroad – UNI Guidelines.
-
Interested members should return the
duly completed order form to their union (not directly to UNI).
-
Using
the attached form, the union should order the quantity of passports in
the language required from the UNI secretariat. They are available in
English, French, German, Spanish and Swedish. They should then be
forwarded by the union to the members concerned.
