northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/no… Well done to North Northamptonshire Council for signing up to the Northamptonshire Women’s Charter - we can only hope that West Northamptonshire Council do too!

4.7 million women will benefit from stronger sick pay from April 👏

@WestNNUNISON @NNorthantsC has signed the @NorthantsOPFCC women’s charter. Has @WestNorthants done the same? It would be very helpful to the predominantly female staff group if they did

For the avoidance of doubt we believe that a woman’s place is wherever she wishes it to be. If you are affected by these issues and wish to get more involved then please do get in contact with the branch to find out more about our local Women’s Group. nnjournal.co.uk/p/some-women-s…

‘I’m resuscitating babies but drowning in debt’: Midwives with £80,000 student loans Louie Horne, head of nursing UNISON: “Student midwives are training for demanding roles, yet many are graduating with significant debt since the NHS bursary was scrapped" unsn.uk/4bx1k8u

Jon Richards, UNISON: “It’s good the Chancellor is listening and has taken the issue on board. An increase in the rate is long overdue so that workers aren’t subsidising employers from their own pockets.”

Watch: @JimfromOldham raises outdated mileage rates, welcoming the chancellor's commitment to review them. Thanking UNISON for leading the campaign, he highlighted Gemma, a social care worker paying over £1,000 a year in mileage “just to do her job, and care for other people”
