History

Unia is the largest member of the Swiss Trade Union Confederation with around 170,000 members. In addition its collective agreements affect the conditions of a million Swiss workers. It was formed on 16 October 2004 from the merger of the Union of Construction and Industry, the Union of Industry, Construction and Services, the Union of Sales, Trade, Transport and Food, the old unia and the Geneva trade union in the tertiary sector.
In 2011, seafarers and boat personnel in the union transferred to Nautilus International.
