Become a local Steward (workplace rep)
Local stewards are the linchpin of UNISON; ensuring staff are recruited in your workplace, speaking up for local members, and supporting members with issues such as disciplinaries. Stewards sit on the Branch Committee and support the wider recruitment and organising activities of the Branch. The Branch Committee meets at 10am on the last Thursday of the Month.
Full training is given through UNISON and TUC courses, which are accredited with the Open College Network. Support locally will also be given by Branch Officers.
Time of with pay is given for all trade union duties which includes your stewards training.

Become a Workplace Contact
Workplace Contacts are a great communication channel between the Branch and local members. They keep local members informed by putting up posters and notices, distributing leaflets and talking to members about what UNISON is doing. They are also able to feed back to the Branch on the views of local members and help members by putting them in contact with the right Branch Officer/Steward or service provider to help them. Workplace Contacts can also help by giving information to non-members and encouraging them to join.
