Xmas Spree!

UNISON Shetland Local Services are delighted to be working with Oceana Productions to offer UNISON Members a Xmas Spree on Friday 20^th December from 7pm.

The event will be at Mareel and features a great line up of bands, including local heroes The Revellers, Blondie tribute act Bleachie, and rip-roaring ska outfit The Amphetameanies.

Members can buy tickets from Friday from Shetland Box Office outlets at Mareel or Isleburgh for the concessionary price of £14! Tickets must be bought in person. It should be a great night, so make sure and get your tickets. See you there!

UNISON Shetland Public Services Branch

UNISON members are people working in the public services, for private contractors providing public services and the essential utilities. They include manual and white collar staff working full or part time in local authorities, the NHS, colleges and schools, the electricity, gas and water industries, transport and the voluntary sector.

Most people join a union because they want protection at work - help with pay and conditions of service, legal or health and safety advice or representation in case things go wrong at work. That's what we're here for. UNISON negotiates on pay and working conditions at every level - local, regional and national. But we also do a lot more. Being a UNISON member gives you a range of benefits and unbeatable deals.

Anyone can face problems at work, but if you are a member of UNISON you don't have to face them alone. We can provide advice or representation on things like pay, rotas, leave and sickness procedures. We are also there to help you make sure your workplace is healthy and safe, support you in case of disciplinary action, dismissals or redundancy. If you have a problem, talk to your local steward. If they can't handle the problem on their own, they can talk to other branch officers or full-time union experts on your behalf.
