Let us work for a better future
Take part in UNISON week
8 – 14 February 2016
Union members across the UK will be taking part
in a week of action from 8 to 14 February.
Many of you will know about – and have taken part in – the campaign
against the Trade Union Bill. We won some important changes to the Bill
in the House of Commons, but at the time of writing this briefing we don’t
know whether it will become law or not, or if any amendments have been
made in the House of Lords.
What we do know is that, whatever happens with the Bill, this government
is intent on hurting working people and undermining trade unions. We are
campaigning to defeat the Bill, but we also need to make sure we are ready
to deal with the consequences of it.
Which means we must get stronger. UNISON week is part of unions
week, a national event organised by the TUC; it is the time to begin making
our movement as resilient as possible. To do this we need to make sure that
our current members feel proud to be in their union and that we spread the
word and recruit new members. We know how important unions are – now
let’s show everyone.
UNISON Angus Branch will be holding two events:-
12 to 2pm on Monday 8th February in Bruce House, Arbroath
12 to 2pm on Wednesday 10th February in Angus House, Forfar
