Disable members SOG

To make sure all our members have a voice in the union, UNISON members have set up 'self-organised groups' to provide a voice for people who are traditionally under represented.

UNISON has groups at national, regional and local level for women, lesbians and gay men, black members and disabled members. These groups are designed to be self-organising but also integral to the union's structures

If you require any information on self-organised groups

contact the Moray Branch Equalities Officer
