Officially registered on June 25, 2006, as the 22nd Labour Union in Uganda, the Uganda Journalists Union (UJU) stands at the forefront of protecting and uplifting media professionals across the nation.
UJU is a non-governmental, non-political organization entirely against any form of discrimination. Our main roles act as Defenders, Advocates, and Promoters of Press, Labour, and Human Rights.
Membership is open to professional journalists devoting at least 60% of their time to the trade. We currently represent over 1000 active members spread across all regions of Uganda in diverse media houses.
UJU is proudly affiliated with the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the Federation of African Journalists (FAJ), the Federation of Eastern African Journalists (FEAJA), and the National Organisation of Trade Unions (NOTU).
