About us

We are the union branch representing around 8,000 members working for the City of Edinburgh Council, related bodies and the voluntary sector.

Branch members have access to a local network of branch officers, stewards and health & safety reps, with full time professional support, legal services, fringe benefits and all the power of the UK’s largest union.
