UNISON is London's biggest trade union with 130,000 members across the capital. Our members are people working in the public services, or for private contractors providing public services and the essential utilities.

They include frontline staff and managers working full or part time in local authorities, the NHS, colleges and schools, universities, the electricity, gas and water industries, transport and the voluntary sector. Members are organised into 152 branches.

UNISON's priorities in Greater London include campaigning for a living wage and promoting equality for all our members.

Generic Branch Guidance on Collective Redundancies

Government funding cuts have left many of your employers considering drastic reductions in staffing levels. Some may be trying to get round their duty to consult with you by dividing the workforce up and holding consultations in separate worksites or departments. This advice is designed to help you in these situations, as well as advising you of your employers obligations to inform and consult on mass redundancies more generally. As well as advising you of the legal position it gives guidance on what your branch should be doing through the consultation and negotiation process.
