These views - our objectives - are agreed at UNISON's annual delegate conference, which brings together more than 2,000 members for four days every summer.

Key communications
InFocus is sent automatically to registered stewards, representatives and lay activists. If you are not receiving your copy, check with your branch, or regional office, to make sure you are registered as a steward or rep.

eFocus is a weekly email bulletin from the general secretary for reps and activists. If you are a registered steward or activist and aren't receiving eFocus, update your email details here or make sure that the RMS membership system has a record of your email address by contacting your Link to another page on this sitebranch or Link to another page on this siteregion.

That has to be an individual email. Shared ones - union.branch@isp.co.uk, for instance - won't work.
