UNI
Commerce is the biggest Sector with close to five million members
worldwide.
Mergers and takeovers in retail and wholesale trade have created new giant
corporations and changed the whole industry. Electronic commerce, telework
and new human resource management concepts pose big challenges to
millions of commerce workers. Self-scanning may become a new job killer.
UNI's role is to make the voice of working people in commerce heard on
global and regional levels. In dialogue and negotiations with
multinationals and international employers' associations, UNI Commerce
promotes stable employment and good jobs. It opposes social dumping and
wants to build a retail and wholesale trade, which produces high class
services and competes successfully with other services industries.
Solidarity action is at the heart of commerce trade unions. Uni Commerce
is part of the global campaign against child labour. With the European
employers, it has concluded a unique agreement on fundamental workers'
rights. In many parts of the world, Uni Commerce gives active support to
organising and union development campaigns. Contact:
