Salford City UNISON Branch
About
UNISON
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.
Most 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 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.
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.
