Private Contractors Seminar 2025

31 January – 1 February 2025

The UNISON National Private Contractor Seminar is specifically for members and activists who are directly employed by a private contractor. This event will provide training and workshops and its purpose is to encourage members’ participation in the union, to network and gain new skills.

The event will give members and activists employed by private contractors the opportunity to share your experiences – and help to shape your union.

Make sure you book your place – don’t miss out on the opportunity to meet others from around the UK working for private contractors!
