Organising to win

UNISON participates in national collective bargaining with HE employers on issues of pay (including pay gaps), workload and contract types.

Our local branch fights for you in bargaining and negotiation meetings at Warwick on issues ranging from outsourcing, redundancies to the cost of car parking.

We are always in need of members who care about working class power, equalities, and justice as much as we do - with free training through UNISON College you can learn to become an effective rep, a powerful activist and/or leading organiser.

Representing members

We provide members advice or representation on issues like pay & benefits, rotas, flexible working, leave and sickness. We also accompany you to key meetings in case of disciplinary action or redundancy.

You may want to know who your UNISON branch officers & workplace stewards are. All officers and stewards are democratically elected volunteers, and are your first point of contact on your local workplace concerns.

Providing welfare and support services for members

We bring you together with other employees who face common issues in the workplace and enable you to get support from the union, as well as work with your colleagues to make your views felt.

We are here to make sure your workplace is inclusive, healthy and safe.

Services and welfare support for members includes:

• Free Member Learning Opportunities
• Member Legal, Financial Services and Support

• Member offers and shopping deals
