Supporting lower paid women in UNISON

UNISON’s 2023 national delegate conference opened with a motion on increasing participation of lower paid women within the union.
The motion was introduced by Sharon Foster, on behalf of the national women’s committee. Ms Foster said: “Let’s face it. Sometimes women need a little bit of encouragement to step into the limelight and get more active in UNISON.”
“Most women are trapped in casualised, low paid work, and in-work poverty remains a consistent problem.
