  Workplace stewards or reps are the heart of our trade union. UNISON’s reps are the reason we win campaigns that result in better lives for our members and all working people. You help to organise your colleagues into an effective, strong and welcoming membership, and support members with problems at a local level at work.

  Union learning representatives, or ULRs, are passionate about getting people back into learning – whether it is professional qualifications or basic numeracy and literacy skills. Branch Education Coordinators make sure that all of our activists and members can access union training and development opportunities.

  Communications officer

  Technology is changing all the time, and keeping our members in touch with their union is really important. It means that members feel in touch with things, locally and nationally. When people see what UNISON is doing, they are more likely to join and more likely to feel connected with other members. Every branch should have a communications officer.
• 4.
  Equality rep

  Equality is at the heart of UNISON. As an Equality rep you would work to make sure people are treated fairly at work and do not suffer from discrimination on the basis of sex, race, sexual orientation, disability, age, religious beliefs or because they work part time. You would also promote national campaigns such as International Women’s Day, LGBT+ History Month and Black History Month and encourage members to get involved in our Self Organised Groups.
• 5.
  Health & Safety rep

  The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted why workplace safety is so important. But we can’t make workplaces across the public sector safe without YOU. Health and safety representatives care about their co-workers’ safety and help push for better working conditions. It's not all clipboards and inspections though, health & safety also covers women's health issues and wellbeing at work.
