Aberdeen Universities UNISON
All our members get regular emails and mailings about forthcoming local events and issues, and we also publish a newsletter several times a year.
The branch periodically sends out information to members via email or post, providing local news and information on events and special offers such as exclusive social events and day trips, or branch competitions. Please Note: If you opted out of receiving information from UNISON when you joined, or via your "My UNISON" account you will not receive this information. Members who opt-out will only receive statutory ballot and AGM information. If you would like to change your preferences and receive other local news and information, you can update your preference online at my.unison.org.uk or contact us using our website form.
