In their own words

“L’U2P représente 3,4 millions de TPE-PME dans les secteurs de l’artisanat, du commerce de proximité et des professions libérales, soit les 2/3 des entreprises françaises. Elle constitue ainsi la première force patronale en France. En tant que partenaire social, l’U2P est régulièrement consultée par le gouvernement et participe activement aux négociations nationales entre organisations d’employeurs et organisations syndicales de salariés.…”
