Checklist: Getting more visits to your union’s online join form
Posted:
Join Together builds high-converting union join forms that get you more members. If a prospective member arrives at a Join Together form, they’re more likely to end up a member. Over time, this results in many more members, and much more money for the union. If the form is bad, it’ll leak potential members, resulting in a union that’s smaller - and poorer - than it might have been. So… start with the form.

When you have it agreed with an employer, check-off makes signing up new members easy, collecting their subs automatic, means members never need to worry about renewals or failing payment methods ensures subscription fees reflect the member’s increasing wages, so they’re always paying their fair share. It also means unions can collect subs with minimal bureaucracy and cost (such as banking fees), as they get all their subs in a lump sum.

People are turning to unions again
Posted:
“Join a union” is a phrase you hear a lot more of than you would have done five years ago. It’s coming from every corner of society, in every part of the country - a recognition that for several decades capital has had it too easy, while labour has had it too tough. That the balance is wrong and needs correcting. That the cost of living is too high, and the wages to pay for it are too low. It’s a feeling that’s bubbling up. It’s happening.
