Branch Executive

The branch Executive comprises the branch officers and meets on the last Tuesday of each month (excluding August and December). Elected workplace representatives/stewards are invited to attend Executive meetings. Branch members can attend these meetings by invitation: please apply to the Branch Secretary if you wish to attend a meeting of the Executive.

Other general or emergency meetings are held as necessary: all members of UNISON Oxford University & Colleges Branch can attend these branch meetings.

We are always looking for people who feel they can contribute to the branch and to helping other members. This could be a regular commitment or just the occasional hour or so. We also provide training courses and support for our reps and officers. Contact admin@unisonoxforduniv.org.uk if you would like to find out more.
