UNISON members are people
working in the public services, for private contractors providing public
services and the essential utilities. They include manual and white collar
staff working full or part time in local authorities, the NHS, colleges and
schools, the electricity, gas and water industries, transport and the
voluntary sector.
UNISON
has over 1.3 million members.
Most people join a
union because they want protection at work, help with pay and conditions of
service, legal or health and safety advice even representation in case
things go wrong at work.
That's what we're
here for.
UNISON negotiates on
pay and working conditions at every level - local, regional and national.
But we also do a lot more. Being a UNISON member gives you a range of
benefits and unbeatable deals.
Every member of
UNISON belongs to a local branch which is made up of people working for the
same employer or in the same public service area. Northamptonshire County
Branch deals with over 130 different employers.
Local stewards are
there to represent you at work and help find the answers to your problems.
They are volunteers and play a vital role in recruiting new members and
organising your branch. If you have a problem, talk to your local steward. If
they can't handle the problem on their own, they can talk to other branch
officers or full - time union experts on your behalf.
Anyone can face
problems at work sometimes but, if you are a member of UNISON, you
don’t have to face them alone. We can provide advice or
representation on things like pay, rotas, leave and sickness procedures. We
are also there to help you make sure your workplace is healthy and safe,
support you in case of disciplinary action, dismissals or redundancy.
