Unison

Unison is the recognised trade union at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council. UNISON representatives can support council employees with general issues affecting members and non-members alike, such as terms and conditions of employment and negotiations on pay at a local, organisational level.

Members (and the service is restricted to members) can expect an individual service addressing personal questions about work or concerns and issues at work, for example advice, help, representation for capability, grievance and disciplinary issues and more.
