Policy or Initiative Description

Few traditional unions serve the needs of atypical workers. Union leaders need to adapt their models to include the growing number of self-employed and non-standard workers. To do this, they could consider partnering with and potentially funding co-working spaces and other organizations that house and represent such workers.

Example

Community Union, a UK trade union, partnered with the co-working space IndyCube to boost its self-employed member numbers.
