Billy is right, therefore, if you elect me, I will launch a comprehensive review of our relationship with the Labour Party including the role of the Labour Link to examine how we can get value for money and use our influence to advance our union’s democratically agreed policies.

UNISON must do more to ensure the voices of retired members are heard.

Andrea Egan for General Secretary

UNISON's retired members are not in receipt of 'gold plated' pensions.

So in the face of rising inflation, the failures of the Labour Government on Winter Fuel Payments and the WASPI women are paticularly felt.

Under the leadership of the current General Secretary, the interests of retired members have come a poor second to supporting Starmer's Labour.

This has to stop. The interests of UNISON members, retired and working, must come first.

UNISON members in the NHS have had it tough under the Tories, and so far things are little better under Labour. I will work with your Service Group Executive to ensure we have a strategy on pay that delivers for members! ✊

NHS staff face unsafe staffing levels and regular aggression in the workplace.

As General Secretary of UNISON, I will be unafraid to stand up to Wes Streeting and fight for all healthcare workers.
