UNISON Press release "Commenting
on the news that the UK has voted to leave the EU, UNISON general secretary
Dave Prentis said:
“The
people have spoken, and they have made a clear call for change – and a
different relationship with Europe.
“We
will be working in the coming weeks and months to hold the leave campaigners to
the promises they’ve made – that there will be more money for the NHS, and that
our rights at work will remain intact.
“But
this also has to be a time for our country to heal. At its best the campaign
has enabled genuine debate and discussion in our homes, workplaces and
communities about the future of the economy and the kind of country we want to
live in.
“At
its worst, the campaign has been typified by hatred, vitriol and misinformation
that have done a huge disservice to our democracy and
values.
“Over
the coming weeks and months, all political leaders must think about how to
address the issues that people in our communities care most about – falling
incomes, insecure jobs, unaffordable housing and the huge challenges facing our
public services after more than half a decade of cuts. “
