Recruitment

The lifeblood of a trade union is the active participation of its members. The power of a trade union grows from how representative it is. Therefore, the first task for union members in a particular workplace is to organise a recruitment campaign that targets every single journalist who is eligible to join.

The European Federation of Journalists and its members have been carrying out several activities in the past years to exchange good practices and to develop strategies for union recruitment, targetting specifically young journalists, female journalists and online journalists.
