Why Join UNISON?

Many people join a union because they want protection at work - help with pay and conditions of service, legal or health and safety advice or representation in case things go wrong at work. That's what were here for. UNISON negotiates on pay and working conditions at every level - local, regional and national.

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. We are also there to support you throughout any grievance or sickness absence procedures.

UNISON also offers you:

• Excellent legal services at work and in the home.
• Education and training advice and courses leading to vocational and professional qualifications.
• A colour magazine sent to your home four times a year; a fortnightly newspaper for our stewards and activists and a full range of publicity.
• Pensions advice and welfare services as well as certain benefits guaranteed by our rulebook.
