The RMS system is UNISON’s membership database that uses up-to-date technology to support branch activities. It is a sophisticated and powerful database enabling storage and management of membership records information. It is a powerful organising tool integrating membership and subscription information.

The system will enable UNISON branches to know more about their members and where they are.
