Christina McAnea elected UNISON general secretary

Absolutely fantastic news! Congratulations to the first ever female General Secretory of any of the biggest 5 UK trade unions. Commiserations to the 3 other candidates (and especially to Roger McKenzie who ran a good, clean campaign). What we need to do now is move on and unite around Christina in our battle to protect our members against this truly dreadful government.
