UNISON agrees organising blueprint

A special delegate conference of public services union UNISON has agreed to the “blueprint for helping branches to better organise in the future”, following a two-year consultation process.

The main points agreed are improved support and services for branches, a branch funding scheme that “supports branches under financial pressure and recognises today’s public service reality of fragmented employers” and a new Branch Support and Organising Fund to help grow the union.
