“We’re worth more than this—and we’re ready to fight for it.”
@AndreaEganGS at local government conference #uLGC26
From social care to schools— our members keep this country going.
They deserve more than cuts or excuses, and more than a 3.3% pay offer.

Great to see such fantastic coverage of yesterday’s rally in the Mirror.
Yesterday migrant workers from across the UK, including the North East rallied in London about unfair changes to visas.

Huge thanks to Northern MPs who took time yesterday to listen to the experiences of migrant workers in social care, in support of their Fair Visa Campaign. Social care and the NHS are reliant on them #fairvisasnow

What a turnout at the Fair Visa Day of Action!
Care workers from across the Northern region and the UK stood strong today, backed by UNISON.
They’re sending a clear message: government rule changes don’t just affect staff and their families - but everyone who relies on care.

Would you work one day a week for no pay? That's what council and school staff are being asked to accept. With real terms pay down 28%, we say 3.3% is not enough.
Help improve the offer; sign the pledge today and be part of the plan to win.

🚨 Opposing the EHRC guidance – we need your voice
MPs will decide on the guidance in the next 30 days — and we need to show them the reality
We need you to tell us why it's unworkable and the real life impact it will have on you in the workplace

We're calling on all directly employed NHS staff in England to share your experiences of the pay structure and to tell the government why reforms are so urgently needed.
Now is your chance to get your voice in the room and show them how much this means.
