Welcome to Unite
Welcome to Unite MoD & Government departments sector web
pages.
The MoD & Government departments sector is one of 24
industrial sectors of Unite. Our sector brings together Unite
members who work in similar workplaces, or for a common employer,
in the MoD or for a Government department.
By bringing you together, we can bargain better on your behalf -
and we can make sure your reps and shop stewards get the best
support to meet your needs, and faster.
In this section, we unite members in the MoD with colleagues in
the civil service, the Prison Service, research establishments and
self-contained entities such as the Royal Mint. We also have
many who were formerly employed by the Civil Service but whose jobs
have been outsourced or privatised yet their work is still very
much part of our sector.
What unites us is that we all work in the public sector.
It is a sector facing a great deal of change, and is under repeated
attack. Our aim is to defend your jobs, you terms and
conditions and to protect these vital public services.
Unite’s public sector membership is now in the hundreds of
thousands, making your union well-placed to represent the views and
aspirations of our members at every level, right up to the Cabinet.
If you are not a member of Unite yet, we strongly recommend that
you join today.
Support for YOU
Alongside our well-trained and dedicated representatives and
stewards at local and workplace level, each Region has a compliment
of full time officials who are experienced and well briefed on the
issues arising within MoD & Government departments. They
will be working to help you.
Our democracy needs YOU
We also want you to play your part in upholding our union's strong
democratic heritage. The election of local representatives
and shop stewards is the job of you, the members, in each
workplace. These reps, in turn, elect a Regional Committee to
oversee the work of the sector in each geographical location.
Finally, each Region elects delegates to a National MoD &
Government departments Committee and Conference. These bodies
set policy for the sector and oversee the policy, organising and
recruitment strategies.

The MoD & Government departments sector is a church with
many rooms. But we share common aims:
Our determination to retain, where applicable, Civil Service
status;
Our opposition to the diminution of terms and conditions,
especially in outsourced bodies; and
A commitment to hard bargaining and campaigning on behalf of our
members as a whole.
Your terms and conditions, negotiated over many years by our
union, must be protected. If
you’re not a member, join online now!
Together, we are stronger. Together, we can safeguard your
futures.
