Equal pay

UNISON is working hard to ensure all our members get fair treatment and equal pay at work.

Major overhauls of pay and conditions packages across our public services have brought the issues of pay inequality to the fore.

UNISON has developed an equal pay strategy to challenge pay discrimination through a combination of negotiation and legal challenge where necessary.

New arrangements should ensure equal treatment in future but many members could be entitled to back pay for past loss of earnings.

What do branches need to know?
Negotiating strategies, litigation protocols, model letters for branch newsletters, leaflets, NEC statement on equal pay and much more.

What do members need to know?
The latest on UNISON's action on equal pay and the issue of "no win, no fee" lawyers.

Left your job recently but still want to pursue an equal pay claim?
Even if you've left your job recently or your contract has changed, UNISON can help you get compensation for equal pay.
