- Decision
- Carried
WET Conference 2024 recognises what UNISON predicted that self-regulation of the water industry has been an unmitigated disaster resulting in sewage discharges all over the UK during all weather conditions.
We call upon the WET Executive to lobby an incoming government to overturn this legislation and work with organisations such as surfers against sewage to highlight the scale of the problem to improve the environment for all including many UNISON members who enjoy outdoor swimming in watercourses.
