Steering
Committee
UNICORN receives guidance and
day-to-day support from its Steering Committee, made up
of representatives of the three founding international trade
union bodies:

UNICORN makes a unique contribution to
the global fight against bribery and corruption by mobilising
the strengths of the trade union movement.
Bribery and corruption distort political and economic decision-making,
leading to a misallocation of resources. This undermines democracy,
impedes development, damages the environment, erodes governance, reduces
the quality of public services and denies citizens their civil,
political, economic and social rights. In the workplace, bribery and
corruption threaten workers' rights, safety and jobs and create climates
of fear.
Winning the fight against bribery
and corruption depends on the involvement of people on-the-ground: at work and
in the community. Trade
unions, as representatives of millions of public and private sector
workers and members of civil society, have a crucial role to play.
UNICORN works with trade unions around the world to
combat bribery and corruption by increasing awareness and use of
anti-corruption instruments, campaigning for measures to protect
whistleblowers and supporting trade union anti-corruption activities.
UNICORN also strives to strengthen the links between trade
unions and the anti-corruption community.
Funding
UNICORN is financed by grants from charitable trusts. It also receives in-kind support from trade unions.
