Housing
UNISON organises and represents 150,000 workers in the housing sector in local authorities, ALMOs, housing co-operatives and housing associations across the UK. Our members provide all kinds of housing services, repair work and administrative support.
UNISON represents members from the workplace up to government and industry bodies, such as the Local Government Associations – LGA, COSLA, NILGA and WLGA, the National Federations of Housing Associations – NHF, SFHA, WFHA and NIFHA, the Housing Corporation, the Homes and Communities Agency and Tenant Services Authority.
Whether it's pay negotiations or government policy, UNISON is the independent voice of the housing worker.
