Get involved in our local and national campaigns

Campaigning on issues that affect members not only helps us achieve our aims as a union, it is also a great way to get members involved and to involve and recruit new members. The role of a workplace rep or steward could include:

  • Planning and running a local organising campaign in your own workplace around something of concern to members.
  • Supporting a branch-based campaign around a major issue – this could be privatisation or a change to terms and conditions.
  • Getting involved in a national campaign. This could involve galvanising your members around an issue like pensions and encouraging them to participate in a national day of action or demonstration.  

On this page you’ll find resources for UNISON's current campaigns grouped under their title, to help you take part. For more information and latest updates on our current campaigns.
