Dealing with members’ problems:

If you, as a Unison member, encounter any problems at work that you cannot resolve yourself, the first person to contact is your Unison steward.

The steward’s role is to support individual members by helping them take their concerns to their employer. This may involve individual grievances on things such as pay or working arrangements, stress or childcare arrangements; collective grievances where a group of members have a problem that needs to be discussed or negotiated with management.


Many problems can be sorted effectively if they are discussed with your steward at the early stages since he/she can negotiate with management on the best course of action. (should this be in?)

Any member who may be suffering from bullying or harassment or may be having problems with their supervisor should be able to feel that they can go to their steward for advice and help.
