The Wakefield Metropolitan District of UNISON has approximately 9,000 members and whilst the majority of those members are organised across WMDC we also have members organised amongst over 80 other employers.

These members also deliver key services to the public, some of these members are from the Meat Hygiene Service, Colleges, Probation, West Yorkshire Joint Services, the Voluntary Sector, Housing Associations, the caring fields, Wakefield & District Housing, car parks and areas of education other than the LEA to name but a few.

(03.10.2009) A serious campaign is needed both at national and branch level in light of the continuing economic pressures and how they are being reflected within local government. Read the full story on the national UNISON website.

The Branch produces a regular newsletter with news and views from across Wakefield. Our news section also includes achived newsletters so you can follow how stories have developed.

UNISON leads the way by maximising our campaigning efforts to get the best possible deals for our members.
