The Trade Union Bill currently before Parliament is unfair, unnecessary and undemocratic. MPs need to focus on the real problems the country faces and talk to us about how we can work together for a better future.

It’s time for the government to get its priorities straight – this Bill is an attack on the very people who could be part of the solution to the country’s problems

UNISON is campaigning with the TUC and other unions to oppose this attack on the rights of working people and their unions.

In the South West

Here in our region trade unions are more important than ever. We are dealing with a host of issues including low skilled and low paid work, unaffordable housing and overstretched health services. Unions are part of the solution, not the problem.
