Support public service workers strikes to protect pensions
On June 30th civil servants and teachers will be taking industrial action to defend their pensions against Government plans to make us work longer, pay more and get less.
UNISON gives its full support to our colleagues action (and we fully expect to be joining them later in the year!). we would urge all UNISON members to visit a picket line and offer support (it is always appreciated).
We can not instruct UNISON members in schools not to cross Teachers picket lines, but we can advise them to only undertake their own duties and not to do any tasks normally carried out by teachers.
If any UNISON member feels pressurised by their Head or managers, to do so, contact our office immediately .

speaking up for LGBT equality
Prejudice and discrimination mean many LGBT people keep their sexual orientation or gender history private. Some employers and public service providers think they have no LGBT staff or clients.
They are wrong-LGBT people are everywhere.
UNISON has ben working for decades for LGBT rights.
UNISON is campaigning to defend public services in the face of the tory-led governments determination to dismantle the state. Yes the UK economy needs action. But there is a better alternative to their attack on public services that is fairer and encorages growth and jobs.
Like all vulnerable groups, when times get hard LGBT people need public services even more.
Hep us to fight against these cuts by joining our campaign and add your voice to our million voices campaign to defend public services at http://unison.org.uk/million/
If you are interested in getting involved in UNISON LGBT group either at a branch or regional level contact dave on 4096
