LINCOLNSHIRE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNISON Branch
About UNISON
UNISON members are people working in the public
services, for private contractors providing public services and the
essential utilities. They include manual and white collar staff working
full or part time in local authorities, the NHS, colleges and schools,
the electricity, gas and water industries, transport and the voluntary
sector.
Most people join a union because they want protection at
work - help with pay and conditions of service, legal or health and
safety advice or representation in case things go wrong at work. That's
what we're here for. UNISON negotiates on pay and working conditions at
every level - local, regional and national. But we also do a lot more.
Being a UNISON member gives you a range of benefits and unbeatable
deals.
Every member of UNISON belongs to a local branch which
is made up of people working for the same employer.
Local stewards are there to represent you at work and
help find the answers to your problems. They are volunteers and play a
vital role in recruiting new members and organising your branch. If you
have a problem, talk to your local steward. If they can't handle the
problem on their own, they can talk to other branch officers or full -
time union experts on your behalf.
Anyone can face problems at work sometimes but if you
are a member of UNISON, you don't have to face them alone. We can
provide advice or representation on things like pay, rotas, leave and
sickness procedures. We are also there to help you make sure your
workplace is healthy and safe, support you in case of disciplinary
action, dismissals or redundancy
