UNISON signed a recognition agreement with South East and London-based Avenues Trust, a specialist social care organisation that supports people facing significant disadvantage through disability and illness. Around 130 UNISON members work there as social workers, support workers and welfare assistants. The agreement means that the union, alongside the RCN, is recognised for collective bargaining purposes, will have application packs at starters’ inductions, and facility time for reps activity and steward development.
