UNISON General Secretary Dave Prentiss is working very hard on behalf of all our members, and in particular he is anxious to secure a big yes vote (Photo: General Secretary Dave Prentiss with Mina Rodgers) in the ballot now taking place for strike Action on November 30th indefence of pensions. On the local level the Retired Members of the UNISON Leicester Health Branch would like all of their working colleagues to vote yes on the ballot paper for Industrial Action on November 30th. We would also ask that all retired members from the public service unions and branches, will support the working members in whatever way that they can.
Please get involved in your union branches, and where possible on local committees which will be co-ordinating trade union strike activity on the day. Many cities and large towns will in all probability be holding marches and rally's, retired members should get involved in those activities, and be seen to give their support. It is important that we all work together to save our public services, from the changes that are forced upon us by this Government, which seriously damage the standard of living of those still in work, and will have a hugely detrimental effect on their future pension rights.
Together we stand - together we achieve.
Mina Rodgers - UNISON Retired Members Secretary - Leicester Health branch
