What can I do?

Your help is crucial to raise public awareness of the contribution UNISON members make to local communities and the pressures they face.

Act now to make the pay campaign a success

Stay informed

• Keep a close eye on the website for the latest news and information.
• Read about the pay campaign in In Focus
• Attend union branch and workplace meetings called by UNISON.

Spread the word: It's a pay cut and we want to talk to the employers again

• Have your say on news websites and talkback radio - help people understand why we are prepared to take sustained and escalating strike action.
• Support the action online - send us your messages and photos, and share the videos at UNISONTV.
• Volunteer to be interviewed and quoted by the press and media.
• If you do not work in local government, have a discussion in your branch about how you can show support for your striking colleagues.
• Write to your MP. You can find out who your MP is and contact them directly through the website theyworkforyou.com
• Send a letter to your local paper.

Recruit new members. The bigger our union is, the stronger we are

• You don't have to be a steward to encourage someone to join. Tell a colleague about the benefits of joining UNISON today.
• Make it a priority to talk to people about the pay campaign and joining UNISON.
• Always carry a recruitment leaflet with you.
