 Do you know a star in your local school?

The Branch is running a ‘Nominate a Star’ competition in order to celebrate the work of school support staff in Wolverhampton and to show how valued they are by their community. 
 This is part of a national UNISON campaign called ‘Stars in our Schools’ which recognises these ‘unsung heroes’ of the education system.
We are looking for members of non-teaching staff in Wolverhampton schools who you feel deserve to be celebrated and to rec...eive a prize. This could be a person who has provided extra support to a pupil in need or the person who makes learning interesting and accessible. If you know somebody who you think is a star, please nominate them for a prize.

You just need to tell us who you are nominating, where that person works, why you are nominating them and your own name.
 Entries can be posted to UNISON Wolverhampton General Branch, Civic Centre, St Peters Square, Wolverhampton WV1 1RR or emailed to wolvesunison@btconnect.com using the subject line ‘Nominate a Star.’ Entries must be returned by Wednesday 11th November.’

GENERAL SECRETARY ELECTION 
BRANCH NOMINATES ROGER BANNISTER
Roger is Branch secretary of Knowsley branch and has been a member of UNISON national executive since the unions inception.
Members of the branch committee felt in the challenging times ahead with the threats of the Tory Trade union rights bill (which will seriously curtail the activities of the trade union movement and our ability to protect members and terms and conditions) and the continuing attack on jobs and services, that Roger was the best person to lead our union.

We need to start mobilising members now to make our voices heard

On Sunday, it will be just five weeks to the TUC’s demonstration in Manchester marking the opening of the Tory party conference by declaring: “No to austerity, Yes to workers’ rights”. It is no accident that the government is attacking our union at the same time that it’s attacking our members and our livelihoods. That's why UNISON activists across the country are mobilising to get members along to Manchester and show the strength of our opposition to these attacks. We are taking a coach from Wolverhampton  For info contact 554096 or email wolvesunison@btconnect.com
