UNISON Self Organised Groups
Equality is at the heart of UNISON. We challenge discrimination and win equality in the workplace and beyond. Everyone shares responsibility for equality in UNISON.
But our equality work includes groups for members who experience particular types of prejudice and discrimination.
These groups meet locally and nationally to discuss, campaign and organise around the specific issues that affect them. They help UNISON understand equality and meet our equality aims.
Our four self-organised groups are for
black members
disabled members
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members
women members
We also have equality groups for young members
and retired members.
Womens SOG
Hi, my name is Lorna McCourt,
I am currently Womens officer for the health boards Unison branch and have been re-elected as Womens officer for 7 years now.
I became Womens officer as I am passionate about Women’s rights, and also their safety – both in the workplace and in the community, but this always works alongside my passion for workers' rights and protecting the rights of all NHS employees, working together to combat prejudice and striving to make Cardiff and Vale a safer place for all employees.
If you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions, you can reach me by contacting
