Mobile advice service


A mobile face-to-face advice service for workers in care homes, GP surgeries and the community has been launched by public services union UNISON. 


It is aimed at helping thousands of workers in Edinburgh and the Lothians who don’t have a physical union presence at work.


The unit is a custom-made vehicle with an office and internet access, which will allow the union to “go out to our members, rather than expecting them to come to us”, says union general secretary Dave Prentis.


He added: “Workers in the community can often feel left out and isolated so we’re hoping to reconnect with them and ensure they receive the help they need.”
