I work in Custody where we deal with some very irate customers being arrested for a crime, but thanks to my calming ways I generally win these people over. I look after their welfare, take fingerprints, DNA, Shoe scans etc making sure everything runs smoothly. It’s a really demanding job as some are very suicidal, self-harm and drug addicts so you have to be switched on.
I became a Steward because if there’s any wrong doing you….if you’re on your own….your ONE but with Unison you’re MANY!!! A couple of times in my long career, I’ve been aided with help from Unison so I know it’s better being together.
