UNISON Scottish Borders Public Services wants to ensure that all members know what their union is doing to support them during these unprecedented times.

How is UNISON working for you? 

While the situation is changing almost day to day, our fundamental aims remain unchanged:

• Working with employers to ensure all possible safety and employment protections are in place
• Tackling bad employers who are refusing to keep employees safe
• Calling on government and speaking to politicians to urge them to take action on public health
• Securing the economy and insisting that all company and industrial assistance must include job security for workers
