Thanks to everyone who came to our stands this week & to our members for their time ✊ Great to welcome NEW members! 😄 Please spread the word! #WeAreRecruiting #UnionStrong #StrongerTogether #HEPayCrisis

Many of our members now rely on food banks. The imposed payrise was a paycut. What else would we do if we weren’t balloting? Play their board games? @qm_ucu @UCEA1 @QMUL @UoLUnison @SOASUNISON @KCLUnison @UNISONmmu @UnisonMcr @unison_bristol @SussexUnison @LivHopeUnison
