A Union Activist is an organiser, communicator, and campaigner.

Activists come from every part of our union. Some may have five minutes to spare each week.

Others help organise campaigns. Some may simply encourage colleagues to join.

Every contribution strengthens Aegis the Union.

Here’s what our activists say

Tara CattAtos

I’m an Activist for Aegis because I believe in making changes to the community around us, and to the workplace as a whole.

What does becoming an Aegis activist entail?

Becoming an activist for Aegis the Union means speaking to colleagues about Aegis,
welcoming new members, encouraging participation in union activities, and helping build membership across your workplace.

Campaign support

Build the success of our member led campaigns across the finance sector, including: fair pay, equality, AI and the future of work, neurodiversity, mental health, parents and carers, workplace wellbeing, fair treatment at work.

Organising

Organise with your colleagues to help identify: workplace issues, emerging concerns, opportunities to campaign, and potential new members.

Communication

Help colleagues stay informed by sharing: union updates, surveys, consultations, ballots, events, and campaign activity.

Who can become an activist?

Anyone who wants to make a difference in their workplace can become an activist. You don’t need previous union experience, as we will provide activist specific training.

You don’t need to be outspoken, and don’t need to become a workplace representative either.

You need to have good interpersonal skills to be able to build strong and reliable professional relationships with your fellow employees.

It is important to be able to communicate well across the board, from fellow employees, senior management, and other union staff members.
