New Facility To Update Your Membership Details On Line
Unison has launched a new online service to allow members to check their membership details are correct and to update them if necessary.
When times are tough it’s more important than ever that Unison can contact its members when it needs to.
In April Unison’s National Executive Council declared that the scale and nature of the onslaught on public service pensions in particular meant that the union is probably on the road to industrial action.
We are in talking with the Government but if we have to take action we need to get our systems right and our membership information as accurate as possible.
Help us to help you by checking your membershp details via our new My Details web service. It’s secure, quick and easy and you can do it online (your membership number will be needed) via the link http://www.unison.org.uk/membership/update.asp
NB – Please also e-mail this branch with the changes you have made including your membership number at:
If you use the on-line update system to resign it is YOUR responsibility to cancel your subscriptions with the approrpiate payroll department or to cancel your direct debit. If you pay subscriptions out of your salary via Stoke-on-Trent City Council and your hours of work have changed, meaning your subscriptions are incorrect, please contact the branch office rather than using the on-line system as the branch has to write to the payroll department in order to facilitate the change.
