UNISON’s annual National Delegate Conference (NDC) is the union’s ruling body. Every year delegates from all over the country take part in debates to choose our campaigning priorities and policies. This year, NDC is taking place for 4 days in Brighton.
Every UNISON branch elects reps to attend annual conference and vote on behalf of their local branch members. Scotland has about 200 delegates.
Conference reports from a Scotland perspective and where Scotland delegates are particularly involved will be posted here throughout the week. For other reports see the UK pages.
