Find out how UNISON’s group for retired members is organised and how to participate
Help us raise workplace issues and champion equality
Our structure mirrors that of the working members. This means that retired members can participate in UNISON’s democratic processes at all levels.
At branch and regional level
UNISON organises retired members at every level of the union. Retired members can attend branch meetings and have representation on the branch committee. Retired members’ committees are also represented on regional councils and able to feed views to the rest of the union.
You can also send representatives to national delegate conference.
At national level
A national retired members’ committee meets regularly.
Each year our retired members’ conference enables retired members from branches to debate the issues important for them and submit two motions to the agenda of the national conference.
