Support for active members
Resources and information to help you carry out your role
Understanding your role
The role of an active member is a good starting point to get involved in the union. They let their branch know what’s happening in their workplace and help the union get messages to its members. They:
- share information with colleagues and other UNISON members;
- keep notice boards up to date with UNISON information;
- have regular conversations with members in the workplace;
- support people looking to join UNISON.
- Active members play an important role in helping groups of members to organise effectively.
If there is a problem at work or change in working conditions in my school that negatively impacts members, I email my regional rep. She is so knowledgeable and supports members when it’s needed
