Seize the day and keep the pay – it's time for a shorter working week

Shorter working week

Trade unions fought for an eight-hour day in the 19th century and a two-day weekend in the 20th. In the 21st century, it is time to take the next step and win a shorter working week with fair pay for all.

National Care Service

The current fragmented and privatised care system is unfit to meet the needs of the public. It’s time for a national care service.

Save Our Services

Vital services are facing catastrophic cuts. But you can stand up for your community, campaign to protect jobs and demand more funding to save our local services.

Sexual harassment

Sexual harassment is an urgent workplace issue. It’s not just a joke or banter or flirting – if it causes offence then it’s sexual harassment, whether or not the perpetrator says they meant to cause offence. Find out more about UNISON’s work to tackle it.

Local Service Champions

Workers who run our vital local services are often undervalued. It’s time to give our local service champions the recognition they deserve.
