Campaigns
The primary function of any union is to represent members in the workplace. However, unions also campaign for a better, fairer society for their members to live in. UNISON, as the largest union in the UK, is particularly well placed to campaign on a number of issues.
RCT Branch is proud of its campaigning activities. As this site develops we will bring you details of the campaigns we have been involved in. Below you will find a list of some of those campaigns. If it is underlined there is a link to an RCT article, if it is not underlined you can find more info on the national site. Make sure you come back soon, we will be adding quite a bit to this page over the coming months.
