University of Reading Unison

Join a union to make your life better, TUC tells low-paid workers General secretary Frances O’Grady calls on employees to band together to confront low wage growth and zero-hours contracts

Lots of work on campus over the past couple of weeks and we are still fighting de-recognition. Make sure you join UNISON today and be part of the union that supports you at work.

And Join Together is back on! Join with or introduce a friend to UNISON and you will each receive a £25 voucher.

Contact the branch at [email protected] for more details.

Committee meeting today! Let us know if you have any ideas to put forward.

In September we will be teaming up with the Senior Common Room to offer you free membership to the SCR when you join UNISON.

Put this date in your diaries - UNISON Fete, 17th September, Whiteknights.

This week we've been talking to admin staff at London Road and cleaners on the evening shift at Whiteknights.

Last week we spoke to cleaners, security staff, caterers and porters on Friday morning. New members joining every day!

It's been a busy week for the branch.

Last Friday we attended the Supporting You event to talk to members and staff about the free welfare services UNISON offers.

On Monday, we visited some of the science departments to speak to admin staff about joining.

On Tuesday, we took the marquee out and despite the weather spoke to lots of staff about our Living Wage campaign.

On Thursday, we have an early morning recruitment session. Yes, a 5am start to meet cleaners, porters, security staff and caterers. Looking forward to it.
