Welcome to UNISON East Midlands
From hospitals to town halls, schools to street cleaners, libraries to police stations, we are the people who keep Britain going twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
We are for everyone who wants fair, healthy and productive workplaces and our members strive to build a better society in this image. Through our campaigns, we ensure that the issues that matter to our members are heard – such as decent jobs, pay, conditions, pensions, and safety – to build a better life for working people and their families in the East Midlands.
If you share their belief and commitment and you want to help us defend and protect public services and the interests of those who provide them, then come and join us and get your voice heard.
Together we are stronger and we can exert more power and influence on the things that matter most to members.
All branches in the East Midlands elect delegates to the regional council, the senior membership body which overseas the work of the region representing and supporting members. It also includes delegates from the service groups and self-organised groups in the region.
The regional council meets four times a year. One of those meetings is the annual general meeting which elects a regional committee (which meets between regional council meetings) and a regional convenor, who is the senior lay member. There are also regional structures for each of UNISON’s seven service groups and membership groups.
UNISON also employs staff in the region to support branches and members, including regional organisers, area organisers and local organisers who work closely with branches.
UNISON is committed to whole-life education. We partner with adult learning organisations as well as training our own tutors, so public servants can develop skills for work and life. Employers value our contribution and we make sure workers have access to learning in return.
