Campaigning hard alongside members. Taking our demands directly to the prime minister and chancellor. Celebrating wins. Holding the government to account.
That’s the change I’m leading: putting you first in your union’s approach to politics.
We won a permanent uplift in mileage rates last week. That’s something the government simply would never have conceded without our tireless campaigning.
We won not by asking nicely, but through organising and unapologetically putting members’ interests first.
I was clear in my response to the budget: making life affordable requires radical action, and that’s not what we got.

We need Labour to start delivering by bailing out our public services, raising our wages, and ending outsourcing. All funded by making the wealthiest pay their fair share of tax.
We won’t accept anything less.
On my watch, that’s how UNISON will do politics: you first, always.
In solidarity, Andrea.
