We are working hard to get an above-inflation pay rise for public service workers and to get the national minimum wage increased to £15 an hour.
We could really use your help. Can you give us some time and get active in UNISON?
Don’t worry! We aren’t asking you to represent members who have a problem, but if you are interested in that your branch would love to hear from you.
There are lots of other ways you can help.
Around 400,000 UNISON members in the NHS are being balloted for industrial action on pay – because a pay rise of £1,400, or 72p an hour (or £2205* in Scotland, or no outcome at all in Northern Ireland), is nowhere near enough. It won’t help them pay their bills and it won’t help solve the staffing crisis that is engulfing the NHS. This pay outcome is bad for staff, bad for patients and bad for the NHS.
Not in UNISON? If you work for the NHS you can vote in this ballot if you join the union by 15 November.
Make your voice heard. Join UNISON and rise with us.
*Scotland have suspended the IA ballot and are asking members to take part in a consultative ballot following an offer of £2205.
Why I got active
UNISON members get active in the union because they want to help us help them. You can too. See what other members say who have stepped up to help. And the difference they make for members.
