With
more than 1.3 million members working across the public services, being part
of UNISON means you have the full weight of Britain's biggest trade union
behind you.
UNISON is a strong and well-represented union across the public, voluntary
and community sectors in Coventry.
We offer direct advice and assistance to all our members from elected
stewards, officers and staff, who know the kinds of jobs that you do and the
pressures you face.
Public sector workers in Coventry face
major challenges, due to resource constraints, pressure from central
government and many other factors. In today’s climate it is vital that you
protect your own interests by making sure you can get representation if you
need it.
UNISON works to address discrimination, offers training opportunities and
negotiates agreements that improve many areas of our members' lives.
Being a UNISON member gives
you a huge range of benefits, including:
- Unrivalled protection and representation at work
- Help with pay and conditions of service
- Health and safety guidance and support
- Confidential welfare services for you and your dependents in
difficult times
- Excellent legal services including free help with work problems and
legal support for members and their families
- Pensions advice
- A special hotline, UNISONdirect, for help and advice on workplace
issues
- Online employment and workplace advice
- Education and training advice and courses, leading to vocational and
professional qualifications
- Cash benefits for accidents and injuries at work
- A colour magazine sent to your home four times a year, a fortnightly
newspaper for our stewards and activists and a full range of publicity
- Special deals on everything from computers, tax returns, holidays,
mortgages, car breakdown services, insurance and credit cards
- Our own holiday centre for members and families
-

Remember, you can get much more satisfaction from being part of UNISON
if you get involved. Getting involved could mean becoming a steward,

of demonstrations or attending members meetings. For more information,

or advice, please feel free to contact your local steward or call us at the
branch office and we will be pleased to help you.
