Inspired by the Arab Spring, as well as effective use of social media by the Occupy movement, the organisation uses technology to build member to member solidarity.[1] USi also provides training for trade union activists on using new media for campaigning.
The organisation shares a director with the Global Labour Institute, and has a close relationship with the GLI network.
As of 2014, USI was running a campaign to assist labourers in the brick manufacturing industry in Andhra Pradesh.[2]
