About Us

UNISON Rochdale Local Government Branch

Welcome to the Rochdale Local Government branch of UNISON, the trade union for Public Sector employees.  We have over 4000 members working for the Council, Schools, Colleges, RBH and Link4Life.  The Branch also represents members in the voluntary sector in Rochdale who provide services to the public.

UNISON is Britain’s most effective trade union, representing 1.3 million popele working in the UK’s public services.  We negotiate better pay and conditions, help individuals in trouble and campaign for a safer, fairer society.

On your own, you cannot defend yourself from job insecurity or stress, or improve your pay and conditions.  You need the backing of a strong union for that.

Rochdale UNISON provides strength and assistance when you need help.  Our full compliment of Officers, Stewards and Health & Safety Representatives enables the branch office to provide informative and expert advice on a wide range of issues:

  • grievances
  • disciplinary issues
  • harrassment & bullying
  • personal regradings
  • health & safety at work
  • service reorganisations
  • equal opportunity issues
  • advice on employment matters
  • maternity & paternity leave provisions
  • advice on conditions of service covering pay, leave etc
