This includes secured tendencies, limits on rent rises, no no-fault evictions, the right to request pets and more.

Many of these changes are the result of UNISON members campaigning over many year.

UNISON member but not voted yet?

If you got an e-ballot it will have come from Civica Elections Service (CES) or you might have had a postal ballot.

If you haven’t had a ballot in you’re based in one of the below regions please call 0800 0857 857 ASAP (and before the 6th May)

Your branch has nominated Reena Farrighton and Steve Jones

You will soon be getting a ballot paper for UNISON’s Health Service Group Executive. This is the body that makes the decisions about key issues for the NHS such as pay and conditions.

Reps at the Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospitals UNISON Branch agree to nominate Reena Farrington and Steve Jones as we think they’re the best candidates to take forward the views of UNISON members here in the West Midlands.

Reena works for West Midlands Ambulance and was key to them being the only branch in the West Midlands to get a strike mandate.

Steve is a healthcare assistant within mental health, and has led significant campaigns locally and across the region.

It’s vital we use our votes in these elections. You ballot will come by e-mail if we have a valid email for you or will come out in the post after the 1st April. Make sure your check your junk folder.
