The Branch Executive Committee, the Branch's decision making body, comprises of senior stewards from across Departments as well as Branch Officers. All members of UNISON Manchester are encouraged to attend meetings, vote in Branch elections and get involved in our campaigns and activities.

We are always looking for people who feel they can contribute to the work of the Branch and help other members. This could be a regular commitment, or you could be a 'mailbox' steward and help pass on UNISON information to members in your workplace. The Branch provides training courses, advice and support for all our stewards and officers.

Contact the Branch Office if you would like to find out more.
