Million Voices for Public Services
UNISON launched their “Million Voices” campaign at the Labour Party conference.
All delegates should visit the UNISON stall and sign up to support.

I think it's a wonderful campaign as it shows us the UNISON members, whilst Dave advocates well, it's us that need to push what we do and how it important it is to everyone that we keep doing it. That's why I particularly like James speech as a hospital worker looking after people who can fall very ill when faced with harsh realities like job losses and pay freezes. Our members do a public service sometimes at the cost of being kept in a poverty trap themselves. All the hype about over inflated wages when the average salary of a public service worker is about 17,000 a year, carers average at 13,000. As a society we need to make a commitment together, to value those we benefit the most from.
Good stunt
