About Us

Welcome to the website of the Plymouth Universities Branch of UNISON.

We're the union for Professional Services staff at Plymouth Universities, campaigning and negotiating for workers across the University in a wide range of roles from administration to cleaners, researchers to reception staff, scientists to Data Analyst and many more.

Our Members

UNISON members are people working in the public services, for private contractors providing public services and the essential utilities. They include frontline staff and managers working full or part time in local authorities, Universities, the NHS, the police service, colleges and schools, the electricity, gas and water industries, transport and the voluntary sector.

Our Stewards

We have a team of accredited local representatives made up of workers within the University. Are you interested in helping your colleagues at work? Contact Us for more information.

Our Campaign

UNISON campaigns and lobbies on key issues affecting our members and the public at large. Were working to protect and improve public services, win equal pay and employment rights for everyone, improve safety in the workplace and end discrimination and harassment at work.

If you're in a union, you're never alone.

We live in unsettling times. The University is under pressure to deliver on a budget that has been cut over recent years, that means more pressure on staff, there has never been a more important time to ensure that your concerns are heard and by joining a union you are being part of that collective voice.
