Unison: Vote for mainstream candidates on the Labour Link Committee

 

Are you a member of Unison?

Or, with more than 1.3 million members, do you have friends, family or colleagues who are Unison members?

A crucial ballot is starting today to elect regional representatives on Unison’s Labour Link Committee.

This committee makes all the decisions about Unison’s relationship with the Labour Party and how it votes in internal Labour elections and selections.

Control of it is on a knife edge, and mainstream Labour supporters need to win 4 of the 7 regions with contested elections to have a majority on the committee.

In the 7 regions where there is a contested ballot we would recommend that Unison members vote for these candidates:

East Midlands - Janet McKenna

Greater London - Anu Prashar

Northern - Linda Hobson

North West - Karen Atkinson

South East - Maureen Cleator

South West - Alison Evans

Yorkshire & Humberside - Ken Curran

Please let anyone you know who is a Unison member aware of this ballot, the recommended candidates, and the importance of voting.

The ballot is conducted entirely by post and votes must be returned by 13 October.
