Conference

UNISON conferences are the policy making and sovereign body of the union, which is why they are so important

This is the reason why UCL Branch makes every effort to attend UNISON Conferenceswhich include the National UNISON Conference, HE UNISON National Conference, UNISON Black Members Conference, UNISON Womens conference and the UNISON Welfare Conference.

UCL Branch often exercises its democratic rights and submit motions for consideration by these conferences on issues that the branch determines there needs to be a policy change. All motions submitted to conference must be first heard at a members or committee meeting with good notice of motion so that an informative discussion can be had. Any member can submit a motion and this must be sent to the branch Chair Ms Jane Ferrie [email protected] or sent to Jane at the Epidemiology dept UCL, Gower St, LONDON WC1E 6BT.
