UNISON at the University of Glasgow
UNISON is the recognised union which represents staff in the Management, Professional and Administrative Job Family and the Operational Job Family.
The site provides information on joining UNISON, the benefits of membership, information about your representatives and links to local and national news and resources.
Here's what we need from UNISON members seeking advice and representation.
As a member of Unison, as long as you've been a paid-up member for a minimum of four weeks, you can get support or representation for issues like the following:
- health and safety concerns, such as bullying/harassment issues
- disciplinary hearings
- performance management hearings
- maternity/paternity issues
- problems related to your terms and conditions
The role of the union is to give you support if you're unable to resolve issues by yourself. If you've tried to do something about an issue, and haven't gotten anywhere, then it's time to contact the union.
If you've been told you're subject to a formal process, such as a disciplinary process or you receive a warning (formal or informal), contact us ASAP via unison@glasgow.ac.uk. We need as much notice as possible to organise a representative to accompany you.
As a general rule, if you're ever invited to a meeting and you find that HR have been invited as well, contact the union immediately.
