Thank you for all your hard work |
The outcome of the general election has been a remarkable result that few predicted at the start of the campaign – certainly not Theresa May. Today I want to thank every one of you who played a part in the campaign. From the outset we believed that if Labour could shift the debate onto public services, it could strike a chord with the electorate and Jeremy Corbyn has done just that. I am proud of the part our union played in this. By working closely together with Labour, we kept public services and our members’ jobs at the heart of the campaign. Jeremy has asked me to thank all the UNISON activists, branches and staff who have played a part in the campaign over recent weeks. Whether it was tireless campaigning in constituencies, personalised direct emailing of target groups of members, direct mail, our high-profile Public Service Champions advertising or our pre-election NHS advert in the Metros and on Facebook, every part of UNISON has been involved. Our work will have helped many fine MPs to be elected and has shown the nation and the government that there is a real desire for change. Of course we wanted to see a Labour government and we will continue to work with the Labour Party to stand up for public services. And whatever the new government looks like, UNISON will continue to champion and defend our members’ jobs and services. Once again, thank you for the part you played. I am proud of what we have achieved together. Best wishes, Dave Prentis UNISON general secretary |

Oxford stands with Manchester
After
last night's appalling events at the Manchester Arena Oxford City Council have lowered the

There For You
UNISON’s welfare service for members and their families
Your union supports you at work, but we know there’s a whole world of other issues that can cause stress, unhappiness, and generally prevent you achieving what you want to achieve.
That’s why UNISON runs a support service covering finances, health, family, personal development and more. This is in addition to the work reps do supporting members at work.
It’s important too that members have a strong voice when it comes to national issues that seriously impact on living standards, such as the welfare system, public services, and jobs. UNISON campaigns in Parliament so policy-makers listen to the voice of public service staff.
How to access There For You
Your branch should have a Welfare Officer trained to support members to find the services they need from UNISON. They’re your first port of call.
