UNISON’s priorities on disability are led by the union’s own disabled members. We help disabled members by fighting discrimination and campaigning and organising at workplace, regional and national levels. There are Disabled members committees and conferences at UK and Scottish level and there is provision for a Branch Disabled Members Group. Contact us here if you would like to get involved.
