REMEMBER HER?

Thatcher anti-union laws still exist. One of their aims is to force union members out of  ' political' life.

'Politics' is not just about parties but its to do with campaigning against cuts and closure of services or lobbying to defend our NHS pensions. By law UNISON needs a political fund to campaign. 


VOTE YES in the coming ballot for a political fund.

CAMPAIGNS
