| Most people join a union because they want protection at
work - help with pay and conditions of service, legal or health and safety advice or
representation in case things go wrong at work. That's what we're here for. UNISON
negotiates on pay and working conditions at every level - local, regional and national.
UNISON also offers you:
- Excellent legal services at work and in the home.
- Education and training advice and courses leading to vocational and professional
qualifications.
- A colour magazine sent to your home four times a year; a fortnightly newspaper
for our stewards and activists and a full range of publicity.
- Pensions advice and welfare services as well as certain benefits guaranteed by
our rulebook.
UNISON
has over 25,000 student nurse members. The union is dedicated to campaigning for a better
deal for nursing and midwifery students and runs several campaigns around areas such as
bursaries and accommodation.
Many nursing students work additional hours as Health Care Assistants to survive the
financial hardship they face. This is often exhausting and potentially detrimental to
their studies.
UNISON has vast experience in representing students whilst they work as Health Care
Assistants throughout their training.
