STEWARDS
When a UNISON member needs help in the workplace, their local steward should be their first point of call. For details of how to contact your local steward, please click on the link below. If your workplace does not have a steward, would you consider taking on the role? The role of a UNISON steward is to organise the union in the workplace by:
As a steward, you are not expected to do the job on your own. Each Stewards' Committee has one or two Convenors who are the senior stewards who lead negotiations, advise stewards, arrange the stewards meetings etc. Convenors are stewards themselves and are elected by their Stewards' Committee. Stewards are elected by members in their workplace or workgroup to represent them. The Committees meet on a regular basis. UNISON offers training, support, information, advice, office facilities, and out of pocket expenses. Interested in becoming a steward? Please contact the Branch Office or the Convenor(s) for your section and ask for details.
