Welcome to UNISON’s Pride page

UNISON is the UK’s largest public service trade union.

Our 1.3 million members work in healthcare, local government, the community and voluntary sector, education, police support staffs and the utilities, delivering vital public services.

  • stop harassment and discrimination
  • protect you at work
  • support you in claiming your rights
  • negotiate with employers
  • educate and train our members
  • campaign for equality
  • Join UNISON – a million voices for change
