Dave Prentis is joining thousands of other UNISON activists volunteering to get the vote out in the final week of the election campaign.
“This is the most important election for a generation. We all need to play our part in getting the vote out – especially among union members,” says the UNISON general secretary.
And he has been putting those words into practice in key marginal constituencies – including Thanet South today and Brighton Kemptown tomorrow.
In Thanet – where UKIP leader Nigel Farage is trying to get elected to Parliament – Mr Prentis was out canvassing voters.
He pressed home the message that we need to replace “the most right-wing Tory government we have ever seen”.
And he stressed that the even more right-wing UKIP and its populist leader were no alternative.
They offer no solution to the NHS, job security and cost-of-living crises that are making life so difficult for ordinary people, he said.
Brighton Kemptown is a marginal seat, which was won by the Conservatives in 2010 with a majority of 1,328.
