European integration and globalization means that trade unions can no longer be effective if they work solely at national or local level. In order to win better conditions for their members, unions representing workers in specific industries have to act together across Europe and internationally. UNI-Europa is a European trade union federation. It unites trade unions organizing in services and skills sectors in 50 different countries. With over 320 affiliated trade union organizations, UNI-Europa represents 7 million workers.
