UNISON is one of the largest unions in police, probation and CAFCASS and has more than 40,000 members. We protect you so that you can do your job protecting others.
We help and support individual members who face difficulties at work; we negotiate pay and conditions; we campaign on behalf of workers to protect jobs, services, health and safety and equalities. We want public services to remain in the public sector.
We are proud to represent your best interests and to fight for the recognition you deserve for the essential public services you provide.
