Support for members and loved ones affected by coronavirus (COVID-19)
Recognising the toll the pandemic has had on UNISON members, your legal service offers free advice and support if you or a loved one have been exposed to coronavirus (COVID-19) in the workplace.
We want to hear from members who have become ill but also, so UNISON can work out where exposure has occurred and how employers responded, from colleagues of those who fell ill too. Everyone who has been exposed to coronavirus (COVID-19) at work at any time can help.
The more information we gather, the better UNISON can campaign about the issues raised and we can also advise whether you have a personal injury claim to make.
