International Women’s Day – A UNISON Event
Please join us for an evening of entertainment to celebrate International Women’s day and recognise all of the work and success of women in UNISON
UNISON is proud to be the leading trade union for women. Our one million women members are the foundation on which UNISON is built.
UNISON‘s women members have successfully negotiated on key issues such as childcare, equal pay and maternity rights.
We campaign for equality in the workplace and for improvements to women‘s rights in the workplace and in the wider community.
We also support campaigns aimed at improving women‘s lives – for example, to change the law to protect women experiencing domestic abuse or to raise awareness of health issues which mainly affect women.
International Women’s Day 2023 is the perfect time to celebrate and reflect on the vital contributions that women in our union make.
The care workers, librarians, health workers, cleaners, school workers, librarians, administrators and others who sit at the very heart of our public services. Their work is often undervalued.
UNISON knows the contribution each of you makes to your workplaces, your communities and to our union and I want to thank you all for everything you do, day in, day out. Together we are changing women’s lives for the better.
