UNISON Objectives

In the workplace, through our campaigning work, and in our input to decision-making inside the Labour Party, the union expresses the democratically agreed views of members. These views - our objectives - are agreed at UNISON's annual delegate conference, which brings together more than 2,000 members for four days every summer.

Welcome to the activists' zone, bringing together the best from UNISON InFocus, the union's monthly resource for stewards and activists, plus a range of information, documents and advice useful to UNISON activists.

Key communications
InFocus is sent automatically to registered stewards, representatives and lay activists. If you are not receiving your copy, check with your branch, or regional office, to make sure you are registered as a steward or rep.

eFocus is a weekly email bulletin from the general secretary for reps and activists. If you are a registered steward or activist and aren't receiving eFocus, update your email details here or make sure that the RMS membership system has a record of your email address by contacting your Link to another page on this sitebranch or Link to another page on this siteregion.

That has to be an individual email. Shared ones - union.branch@isp.co.uk, for instance - won't work.
