Trade Unions at Warwick
The University formally recognises three trade unions: UCU, UNISON, and Unite. You can join any of these unions as you prefer, although you may want to consider the representation they give certain roles or grades when it comes to collective bargaining strength or areas for consultation.
Please note that Warwick wholly owned companies now recognise trade unions.
