UNISON is urging members and activists to support the TUC Saving Our Safety Net campaign to defend the welfare state from attacks.
A decent social security system provides help to those who need it, when they need it.
The campaign highlight’s on how “welfare reform” is slowly reducing the safety net for everyone.
An immediate concern is the five-week wait for benefits that people will face when making a new claim under universal credit.
