Labour is no longer the party of trade unions or the NHS. It's time for unions to stop funding them and for voters to vote Green, to actually support a properly funded and staffed NHS.

NHS staff still earn less than we did in 2010.
'Don't tell me you don't want to be out on strike - because that is exactly where you are. Own it.'

As resident doctors walk out again, Wes Streeting calls out the 'reprehensible and cartel-like behaviour' of their union.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Andrea briefly, and although I'm not a member of UNISON and cannot vote for her, I was immediately impressed with all the points on her programme (e.g. her explicit support for trans union members prominently displayed in her flyers) andrea4gs.org.uk

The announcement of new asylum measures by the Home Secretary risks fuelling anti-migrant rhetoric.

We reiterate our solidarity with our colleagues, many of whom are being subjected to increasingly hostile treatment as a direct result.

At its core, this doctor’s strike is a fight to ensure patients have access to an NHS doctor right now and well into the future. Thank you to @jordanrivera.bsky.social and the Homerton Unison team for their support yesterday. It was great to be home.

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

Support rally for striking resident doctors yesterday at Homerton.

Well done to all who attended to show their support, it was really great to see everyone.

Doctors need our support, like other NHS staff, the value of their pay has plummeted over the last decade.

Sharing this again on #WorldOccupationalTherapyDay. Being labeled "difficult to engage" exacerbated feelings of hopelessness until an OT treated the patient as a person, not an illness, and gave hope to recover from mental illness. #OT #SMI

My occupational therapist gave me hope when I had none. That's why I became one
She saw me as a person rather than a mental health inpatient. Now I work to help other people in the same situation I was in

I will be voting for Andrea Egan for UNISON general secretary.

The election starts soon, look out for your ballot papers.

Our chance to elect the first ever GS coming from lay leadership, rather than someone working for UNISON.

She will only take a social worker's wage.

I want to make it clear that UNISON is made of 1.4 million members, who have passed motions which directly oppose Phillipson's politics

The decision on who to support was made by the Labour link Exec - a very small group of people.

This does not represent the views of UNISON's members at large

I’m so honoured to have the backing of a fantastic breadth of members across the whole union, with 210 nominations.

You, ordinary members in our branches, are the lifeblood of UNISON.

Together, we really can change UNISON.

Labour Link members were not consulted when making this decision - a decision to endorse a transphobe, a zionist and someone who has overseen the erosion of our universties in the UK.

There is a reason why I'm supporting @andrea4gs.bsky.social in this unison election for general secretary.

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned for the recognition of Palestine — an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

Next, the UK should recognise the genocide in Gaza, end its complicity in crimes against humanity, and stop arming Israel.

The size of the far-right demonstration organised by Tommy Robinson in London this weekend is a cause for alarm.

UNISON must oppose the far right in practice, but also lead a genuine fight to improve living standards.
