The local council elections in May are a great opportunity for UNISON Cymru Wales to talk about why it’s so important to invest in public services and in public service workers.
We want to influence politicians and public opinion to address the needs of working people and Welsh communities. We’re asking council candidates to pledge their support for UNISON’s priorities and work with us to deliver them: –
- Bring outsourced services back under direct council control
- Councils operating social care directly. No more commissioning
- Job evaluation and review all-Wales for consistency
- Ending the scandal of term time pay for school support staff
- Local government tackling climate change
- An urgent social housing and council house building programme
- Investment in public services to build a fairer Wales
- Valuing trade unions means better services
Read our bilingual UNISON priorities document
More than 100 candidates have now pledged their support to UNISON priorities, read the full story here.
What can you do to help?
- Ask council candidates if they have committed to UNISON’s priorities. Download our template letter (English) (Cymraeg). If your candidate/s tells you they support UNISON’s priorities, let us know by email to cymruwales@unison.co.uk with a subject header: #UNISONpriorities. Check which candidates have already pledged their support
- Read more about our UNISON priorities bilingual document and talk to your workmates and family about why our priorities are so important
- Print our campaign graphics below, take a selfie with the graphic and tweet it @UNISONWales with #UNISONpriorities to show your support and we’ll retweet it
