Stewards
We can guide you through difficult HR processes and be present during meetings for administrative and emotional support. We are volunteers who won’t be experts in your issue, but we’ll work with you to figure it out – no one should struggle at work alone!*
*You must have been a UNISON member for at least 4 weeks to get steward support – join before you face any issues!
