Welcome to EEAS-UNISON.com
The UNISON branch of the East of England Ambulance Service (EEAS) exists to represent staff issues within this trust. UNISON itself is Britain's biggest union with a membership in excess of 1.3million whilst this Branch exists to focus on the 2000 members within the Trust.
We seek to offer our members welfare support, benefits and discounts, help and advice on employment, legal and health & safety matters as well as education and training opportunities.
It is important to remember that UNISON has primary recognition within the Trust, and has worked hard to develop a solid working relationship with the management team. This in turn, allows UNISON to negotiate the best possible pay and conditions for EEAS employees through continued communications with the Trust.
