Use bargaining information

 

UNISON has built a Bargaining Information System which is a vital part of bargaining over terms and conditions at work. For major employer groups pay and many key terms and conditions are negotiated nationally - as in the NHS, Local Government, Police and Schools.

Local agreements are negotiated by local branches and draw on our Bargaining Information system.

BIS, the Bargaining Information System, is a new system that builds on a wealth of company information that UNISON holds. It now has details of thousands of agreements and contracts that gives vital information on the latest trends in pay and conditions to UNISON negotiators at all levels.

BIS will tell you

• The going rate for pay rises in your sector.
• What flexible working arrangements UNISON has negotiated in your region.
• What problems have arisen with private contracts.
• BIS will tell you examples of best practice.

Branches are encouraged to send in updates of new agreements and particularly updates of recognition agreements with new employers. We have special forms for these updates.
