Unite has established a local Education branch to “properly tend to the needs of the growing membership”. 

A statement from Unite follows below:

Over the years, many individuals employed in HMGoG's Department of  Education have joined Unite the Union. Some of these members are from  Industrial grades, some are Special Needs Learning Support Assistants  and others are teachers. 

More recently, individuals from senior grades in schools and the  Advisory Service, who feel that they have not been adequately  represented in their previous union’s actions and statements, have also  registered with Unite. 

In view of the increasing numbers, a Unite Education branch has been  established locally to properly tend to the needs of the growing  membership. 

The branch looks forward to meaningful engagement and cooperation  with all parties to promote fair and ethical working conditions and  practices. 

Guided by a spirit of reasonableness and based on the democratic  principles of respect, equality and solidarity, the Gibraltar Unite  Education branch will work for the benefit of all members so that they  may form part of a modern and progressive Education department.”
