#SGE22Elections #UNISON
Vote for candidates that will make a difference. Support Marilyn and other candidates that want change & a trade union that fights to support low paid workers. It's #TimeForRealChange in UNISON.
timeforrealchange.uk/latest/… Crazy times. Democracy in UNISON must be maintained, the elected NEC is being frustrated at every opportunity. Members deserve more than this and a union that fights for better terms & conditions & an end to low pay. It's #TFRC and a member led union.
The rapid spread of COVID-19 is disrupting the education of many children. We’re calling on the Government to keep pupils safe to help keep them in school. Will you join? #ProtectPupils #ProtectEducation action.unison.org.uk/page/94…

Well said, #UNISON needs change & branches need adequate funding to provide effective support for members. I will be voting in the #UNISON NEC 2021 elections. I hope members will also vote for candidates like Dan, who are pledged to bring the change our union needs.
Dan Sartin is standing for the South East Male seat in the #UNISON NEC 2021 elections and spoke on branch funding at our last rally. We will have more to say on the Branch Resources Review shortly. Watch this space! #TimeForRealChange

Those working in education appreciate the importance of keeping schools open. They also know it is time to stop pretending this is not a concern. Headteachers, teachers and support staff deserve better than this. The impact for pupils significant. bbc.com/news/education-55145…
Boris Johnson: Freeze Politicians' wages if public sector wages are frozen - Sign the Petition! chng.it/DZQqQNxZ via @UKChange
Powerful, honest, account of Labours position & how many feel. Labour must put socialism at the heart of the party, stand up to Government in support of working people on low pay, delivering essential services & threatened by both COVID and future pay freezes in the workplace.
‘Not the Andrew Marr Show’ featured a discussion about Keir Starmer's treatment of Jeremy Corbyn. After a few pro-Starmer speakers, Howard Beckett, an NEC representative, spoke. Within minutes, people were asking for his speech to be put on social media.
