UNISON’s NEC agreed the union’s key objectives for 2013 at its meeting on Wednesday 5 December.
The objectives are:
- Enhance our capability to meet the recruiting, organisational and representational challenges posed by austerity measures including cuts, workforce reductions, reorganisations, attacks on facility time and privatisation – for all members who provide public services.
- Protect and secure decent employment and pensions for UNISON members, promoting equality and challenging discrimination.
- Develop our public service campaigns in support of quality public services, in defence of the NHS and all public services, building our political influence, forging alliances with unions and community groups to challenge the austerity programme, including challenging the attacks on the welfare state.
- Ensure that the union’s essential ICT infrastructure and internal management systems are efficient and effective to meet the changing needs of our branches and membership.
