Welcome to UNISON in the Northern Region
UNISON is the North's biggest and liveliest public sector trade union with 95,000 members across the North East and Cumbria. Our members are people working in public services or for private contractors providing public services and the essential utilities.
They include frontline staff and managers working in councils, the Health Service, colleges and schools, universities, the electricity, gas and water industries, transport and the voluntary sector. Members are organised into 61 branches.
UNISON's priorities in the Northern Region include improving and defending public services, promoting community cohesion and anti-racism and protecting members' jobs and conditions.
No one works harder than UNISON on behalf of members.
