Unison Stewards, Reps & Convenors are engaged in a wide variety of work on your behalf. Not only do they advise members & accompany them to meetings, but they also work behind the scenes, preparing for meetings, consulting, & even negotiating on behalf of members. They do not receive anything extra for doing any of these duties - they choose to do them in order to assist colleagues & often out of principal.
Many members thank Unison for having helped them, but we'd like to make this recognition a bit more public.
Perhaps you've recently been helped by your local Unison Steward in one of the following ways:
- Have you been successfully represented in a formal meeting?
- Has a Steward accompanied you to a formal investigation?
- Maybe you've had help with an absence issue?
- Perhaps you've been helped to fight back against a work place bully?
- Have you had assistance with a Health & Safety issue?
- Did one of our Reps help you when management have treated you unfairly?
- Or perhaps you feel you owe your job to the work of your Rep?
All of the above are the day to day work of our Stewards, Reps & Convenors who do this without seeking thanks. We think it's time to celebrate their great achievements & give the most hardworking amongst them a well deserved pat on the back.
Who Are The Superheroes?
They could be your local Steward, Convenor, Rep, or perhaps a Unison member that you know has done exceptional work to support members. Why not let us know who you'd like to thank by contacting us at: Unisona@westminster.gov.uk
The Awards
We will be holding an awards ceremony in July when we intend to publicly recognise those who've done the most to help our members & support the Branch.
