🤔 What is the AGM?
Feeling inspired after our first round of strikes? Our Annual General Meeting is the perfect place to channel that energy!
It is your opportunity to elect your branch activists and agree policy, priorities, and finances for 2026.
You can also ask questions, meet like-minded colleagues, and learn more about union activities in this year’s keynote workshop, ‘UNISON 101 – understanding and getting active in your union’.
All members are strongly encouraged to attend!
