About uunn

Built by workers, for workers

uunn is a privacy-first platform that empowers workers to coordinate on workplace issues and build collective power—without compromising safety or privacy.

Our Mission

Workers everywhere deserve accessible, private tools to coordinate on workplace issues. Whether you're organizing for better pay, safer conditions, or fair treatment, you shouldn't have to choose between privacy and collective action.

uunn fills the gap between employer-controlled platforms (Slack, Teams) and traditional union organizing. We provide purpose-built tools that respect workers' right to organize while protecting them from surveillance and retaliation.

Our Values

Privacy First

End-to-end encryption ensures that only you and your coworkers can see your messages, documents, and organizing activity. We can't see it, and neither can your employer.

Worker Control

The platform serves workers, not employers or advertisers. You own your data, control your groups, and decide who participates.

Open Source

Our security-critical code is open source and auditable. Transparency builds trust, and community review ensures we keep our promises.

Non-Profit

We operate as a non-profit entity. No data sales, no surveillance capitalism, no advertising. Our only goal is empowering workers.

The Gap We Fill

Existing Solutions Fall Short:

  • Employer-controlled platforms (Slack, Teams): Monitored, surveilled, and controlled by management. Not safe for organizing.
  • Traditional unions: Require external organizers, formal processes, and often inaccessible to gig workers, contractors, and small shops.
  • Petition platforms (Change.org): Public, extractive data practices, no coordination tools, and no privacy.
  • General chat apps (WhatsApp, Signal): Not built for organizing, fragment into small groups, lack action templates and coordination tools.

uunn's Unique Approach:

  • Purpose-built for workplace organizing
  • End-to-end encrypted for maximum privacy
  • Accessible without external organizers
  • Action templates for proposals, petitions, and demands
  • Transparent invitation system to build trust
  • Free for all workers—no fees, no data sales
