Targeted advice for migrant workers

Our Migrant Worker Network is an informal network of UNISON members with a first-generation immigrant background, including overseas and migrant workers, EU settled status workers and workers who have subsequently naturalised as British citizens or who have indefinite leave to remain. 

Joining the network enables UNISON to target advice, support and information more effectively for migrant worker members. Our goals include:

  • Supporting members to uphold existing rights.  
  • Encouraging union participation, activism and leadership.
  • Share organising key lessons and best practice.  
  • Build solidarity across the union.
  • Campaign for fairer visa rules.

The network also allows members to access expert migrant rights advice and support for themselves and their families via a UNISON funded partnership with the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI). UNISON will not share your information with any other organisation. 

Members can access the advice service via UNISONdirect which can then arrange an appointment for the member with a JCWI advisor.
