To become a UNISON steward and represent members in your workplace  you must complete Stage 1 and Stage 2 training.

Stage 1

The first two days of training for workplace representatives will help you to understand the steward’s role in organising members at local level and help you feel confident in carrying out your duties. It covers topics including:

  • the role of an organising union;
  • the importance of equalities in UNISON;
  • working with members and more experienced activists to resolve issues;
  • where and when to seek advice and guidance;
  • union procedures;
  • your next steps in UNISON.

For members who do not wish to become accredited or represent members in grievance and disciplinary procedures, there is an option to sign up for and complete this first stage as a standalone course.
