ICTS
Organising and Campaigns
UNI ICTS works with unions around the world to ensure that workers in the telecommunications and IT industries can actively exercise their fundamental rights to form a union and bargain collectively. UNI ICTS holds global framework agreements with some of the largest employers in the world to guarantee these rights to employees. In addition, UNI ICTS has supported organising drives in Africa, Americas and the Asia-Pacific regions.
