Women

UNISON has almost one million women members - more than two thirds of our union. Women still earn a lot less than men and face sex discrimination and harassment at work. Our members also juggle work and home commitments. Many have caring responsibilities and almost half work part-time. This is why UNISON takes a lead on negotiating and campaigning on women's rights at work and in the community. To get involved in our campaign go to Link to another page on this siteEqual Pay.

Domestic abuse: NEW model workplace agreement

(16/08/10) UNISON has been campaigning for many years for recognition of domestic abuse as a trade union and workplace issue. We are proud of our groundbreaking “Raise the Roof” guide to negotiating workplace policies which support women experiencing abuse, and those who have escaped from their violent partners.Many branches have successfully negotiated agreements with their employers and our UPDATED model workplace agreement, which has been developed to assist branches negotiating locally, is now available to download: NEW model domestic abuse policy: NEW model domestic abuse policy.doc
