British Advertising Sector on Verge of Unionization
New Union Forms for Creative Communications Workers in the UK
There is an exciting development in the creative communications industry in the United Kingdom, as a new trade union is being established to represent workers in this sector.
The union, which is part of United Voices of the World (UVW), is being organized by advertising professionals and aims to provide a strong voice for advertising, digital, PR, design, media, and production professionals. This move suggests a new era of worker advocacy in the creative communications industry.
United Voices of the World (UVW) is no stranger to union organizing, having represented workers from various industries since its formation in London in 2014. Currently, the union boasts approximately 5,000 members across eight different sectors, including architectural, legal, service, design, and cultural.
The formation of this new trade union comes at a time when the balance of power is shifting in favor of workers in the industry. The union's establishment indicates a significant shift in power dynamics within the creative communications industry, marking a response to changes in the balance of power within the sector.
However, it is important to note that while UVW is enhancing its presence and organizing in sectors that include cultural and creative workers, no formal announcement or detailed information about the formation of a distinct trade union solely for creative communications workers under UVW has been found in the latest sources. It is possible that organizing efforts are ongoing but not yet publicly formalized or widely reported.
For the most up-to-date and detailed information, checking UVW’s official website or direct communications from their union leadership might be necessary. As this new union takes shape, it will be interesting to see how it evolves and the impact it will have on the creative communications industry in the UK.
