Although the branch office has been closed to visitors since the start of the Covid pandemic at the end of March, we have continued to be available by telephone and email to provide support, advice and representation to our members.

UNISON remains here for you over the Christmas and New Year holiday too. Our branch will be operating as normal until 3pm on Thursday 24 December, and will reopen at 9.30am on Monday 4 January.

During the branch closure, if you need help or advice about a problem at work, please:

• check our branch website, you might find an answer there
• contact UNISON Direct on 0800 0857 857

Your employer should act reasonable and allow you time to consult with your trade union in the New Year before making any decision over Christmas.
