UNISON is London's biggest trade union with 130,000 members across the capital. Our members are people working in the public services, or for private contractors providing public services and the essential utilities.

They include frontline staff and managers working full or part time in local authorities, the NHS, colleges and schools, universities, the electricity, gas and water industries, transport and the voluntary sector. Members are organised into 152 branches.

PROTECTING LONDON’S NHS CAMPAIGN

Labour Mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone has launched a new campaign against the Conservative-led government’s cuts to the NHS in London.  An online petition and more details about the campaign which is calling on David Cameron and Conservative Mayor Boris Johnson to keep their pre-election promises to protect the NHS can be found at http://www.savelondonsnhs.com/

The government's strategy on pensions is clear they want us to:

Generic Branch Guidance on Collective Redundancies

Government funding cuts have left many of your employers considering drastic reductions in staffing levels. Some may be trying to get round their duty to consult with you by dividing the workforce up and holding consultations in separate worksites or departments. This advice is designed to help you in these situations, as well as advising you of your employers obligations to inform and consult on mass redundancies more generally. As well as advising you of the legal position it gives guidance on what your branch should be doing through the consultation and negotiation process.

Join us against government cuts to London

The government is cutting London services through cuts to our local council budgets. London Labour MPs, council leaders, Assembly members, our candidate for Mayor Ken Livingstone, and London trade unionists today - 17 December 2010 - published a joint statement urging the government to think again about the cost to London of cuts to spending.

Responding to the Coalition Government

Attached is a policy statement drawn up by the Greater London Regional Council Officers which aims to provide guidance to branches, activists and members in responding to the many and varied attacks that are now being placed on public services by Government policy.
