UNISON and unions' wider role

LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR THIS LESSON Understand why employers and employees need to agree on what is fair in the workplace. Explain the role of unions in both protecting and representing workers at both local and national level. Give examples of cases where UNISON has been successful on behalf of workers.

INTRODUCTION Unions have a key role in making sure that employers and employees are fair to each other. If these two groups don't play fair, it can lead to big problems for businesses. For instance, if an employer will not pay fair rates this leads to workers with low morale. These are likely to produce poor output. When unions and employers cannot agree, workers may then turn to industrial action. This is a last resort. UNISON works to prevent such action such as strikes.

AIMS UNISON works with both employers and employees to ensure that public service workers receive a fair deal. A big advantage for any worker represented by UNISON is that, like many other unions, it takes part in 'collective bargaining'. This means that when negotiating with a management group the union represents the whole workforce. This gives workers far greater negotiating strength.

ACTION UNISON works with both employers and employees to ensure that public service workers receive a fair deal. A big advantage for any worker represented by UNISON is that, like many other unions, it takes part in 'collective bargaining'. This means that when negotiating with a management group the union represents the whole workforce. This gives workers far greater negotiating strength.

CONCLUSION UNISON acts in the same way as other trades unions. It protects workers; runs campaigns; gains better conditions and promotes improvements.
