Member groups
Our member groups focus on equality issues, help to challenge discrimination and fight for fairness in the workplace
Join an equality group and connect with other members on equality matters
UNISON’s equality work includes groups for members who experience different types of prejudice and discrimination or who have traditionally been under-represented in many organisations.
This includes four self-organised groups (SOGs):
- Women
- Black members
- Disabled Members
- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender+ (LGBT+) members
These self-organised group are organised and run by UNISON members. They meet locally and nationally to discuss, campaign, and organise around the specific issues that affect them. They help UNISON understand equality and meet our equality aims.
UNISON also has a retired members group (Retired members organisation) and a young members group (Young Members Forum).
The rules for these democratic structures are set out in the UNISON rule book.
UNISON also has a Migrant Worker Network.
