What we are doing now

Black members in UNISON work together to win positive change in the workplace. The more of us that are actively involved the stronger we become. The stronger we are the more positive change we can achieve. Black members play a key role in winning equality in the workplace and
  • actively challenge racism wherever it is found
  • are at the forefront of UNISON's organising work
  • enjoy UNISON's support at local, regional and national level.
