UNISON is supporting the Hope not Hate Campaign's trade union day of action this Friday to alert people to the dangers of the British National Party winning seats in the European elections... |
||
Young UNISON workers called for pounds not pennies at the weekend, after the union's recent rejection of an offer of just 3p an hour by local government employers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Members held up three giant 1p coins as they condemned the 0.5% cent pay offer that has been rejected by the local government unions.
