They include frontline staff and managers working full or part time in local authorities, the NHS, the police service, colleges and schools, the electricity, gas and water industries,transport and the voluntary sector.
Our Stewards
We have a team of accredited local representatives made up of workers across both trusts and private employers. Are you interested in helping your colleagues at work? Contact Us for more information.
Our Campaign
UNISON campaigns and lobbies on key issues affecting our members and the public at large. We’re working to protect and improve public services, win equal pay and employment rights for everyone, improve safety in the workplace and end discrimination and harassment at work.
If you're in a union, you're never alone.
