about us
Welcome to the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) Unison Trade Union Branch, where unity and advocacy converge to benefit over 800 dedicated members. Our branch is fortified by a robust network of experienced shop stewards, each bringing a wealth of knowledge and commitment to the forefront.
In our pursuit of collective empowerment, we stand shoulder to shoulder with the formidable backing of the Unison Trade Union, the largest public sector union in the UK and Europe, boasting a remarkable support base of 1.3 million members. Together, we embody a force that champions the rights, well-being, and professional interests of our members within the NIAS.
We are committed to keeping our members informed and connected. To achieve this, we leverage our website and social media platforms to swiftly disseminate the latest news directly to you far more than could ever be done by paper alone. Through these channels, we aim to provide real-time updates, ensuring that you are promptly informed about crucial information, announcements, and developments.
Stay tuned to our digital spaces for instant access to the most current news, reinforcing our commitment to transparent and timely communication with our valued members.
We support our members by helping them to improve their working conditions in several ways.
• We help and advise individual members who are
facing difficulties at work.
• We help our members to group to campaign for improved working conditions.
• We represent our members in negotiations with employers.
• We make sure our members get equal treatment and fair pay.
• We offer our members a wide range of benefits, from free legal and welfare advice to offering big savings on services such as home insurance.
If you are not sure what the Unison NIAS Branch does for you, just ask the Steward or Representative in your workplace and If there are none in your Station, why don’t you get involved yourself?
