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.
You are invited to the Young Members’ Committee Annual General Meeting (AGM) which will take place at UNISON HQ, West Campbell Street, Glasgow on the 20th of March from 11am to 5pm.
The AGM is an important meeting for all members. It provides an opportunity for you to ask questions about the work of the union, you can see how committee finances have been used and, help to set policy and agree priorities for the year ahead.
The AGM also provides an opportunity for you to elect officials to lead the committee and represent your interests. A whole range of different roles are available in the committee and each one carries an important set of responsibilities. A list of roles will be circulated for you to consider.
Details for joining the meeting digitally will be sent out nearer the time. Due to UNISON rules, any member joining online will be “spectating” and have no voting rights, therefore we urge you to attend in person if you are able.
If you would like to submit a motion for consideration or a change in the rules of the committee, please do so by 27th February by emailing millie.holroyd@nhs.scot
We recognise that to ensure all of our members can fully participate it may be necessary to make adjustments, if you require any adjustment, please contact the committee and we will discuss your requirements.
Our Welcome to UNISON event for our new members is scheduled to take place a week today and invites have been sent directly to all new local government joiners in Scotland in 2022. Folk can sign up here for our online Free digital event:
