Police Staff Matter #wearepolicestaff #UNISON

Labour's manifesto offers the country real change, says UNISON ​ "This manifesto sets out a clear plan for the future. It shows how a Labour government could rebuild a Britain broken after years of Tory austerity and chaos," UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea @cmcanea  commenting on the launch of the Labour manifesto today. "Unlike the party that's been in power for the past 14 years, a Labour government would be committed to public services. "Essential services aren't a drain on the public purse, but a driver of economic growth. The public wants good public services and they’re fed up of seeing them driven into the ground. "People want to be able to see a GP when they're poorly, potholes to be filled on local roads and elderly relatives to get care packages when they become too frail to look after themselves. Simple things like this have become ever-more challenging under the Conservatives. "A fair pay agreement in social care will be the first huge step towards ending the growing crisis in the sector. A national care service will alleviate pressure on the NHS and give everyone who needs it the support they deserve. "Labour's manifesto is gimmick-free and full of costed measures designed to make a real difference to people's lives at work, at school or at home. "Solving Britain's many problems won't be easy. But the manifesto is an appreciation of the hard work that lies ahead. It's high time grown-ups were back in charge of the country. And hopefully in a matter of weeks they will be." #LabourManifesto #YourVoteCan

I’m at Regional Council in Birmingham today and was privileged to be elected to the Regional Welfare Committee for the second year running also congrats to our Chair, Katrina Gilman who was elected as Regional Convenor #supportingmembers #UNISON

Officers work incredibly hard to be there when you need them most👮 But resources are stretched, demand is rising and average officer pay has been cut by 16% in real terms since 2010. We want pay to reflect the complexity and challenges of modern day policing. (1/2)

(2/2) We've asked the Police Remuneration Review Body for an above inflation pay award of 6%. 🚨This is a complex profession and it's vital we attract the right people and retain talented and experienced officers to keep our communities safe and enhance their trust in us.

Without payroll staff, Police Officers don’t get paid, without Stores staff, Police Officers don’t get uniform, without HR, Police Officer regulations wouldn’t be adhered to, without Police Staff the Police service cannot function #wearepolicestaff #UNISON

Excellent Branch Annual General Meeting today, our best attended yet, with guest speakers T/Chief Constable Alex Murray of @WMerciaPolice and Gurvinder Bhati of Thompsons Solicitors launching Police Staff Appreciation week and linking with our #wearepolicestaff campaign. #AGM

As a UNISON branch Secretary I totally agree, if you invest in police staff roles the public will see more warranted officers on the street. @unisontheunion #wearepolicestaff
