The Suffragette Bus Tour is free to members  To end the year that has seen many celebrations take place throughout the country marking 100 Years of the Vote for some women, a suffragette bus tour has been organised as part of the regional women's committee Women's History month activities which started in March. We have also invited some women from the Labour Party to join us - a mix of MP's and candidates. There is a limited number of seats which will be allocated on a first come basis. The tour is free to members however, branches will be required to meet travel costs and subsistence so I hope that branches will be able to support members who would like to attend. The leaflet and details are on the website (link below) application form is on the link https://southeast.unison.org.uk/events/unison-south-east-suffragette-tour/ ************************************************************************************************************************************************** Our Disabled Members Officer Jen Holloway and Assistant Branch Secretary Kevin Fuller attended the Disability Conference held by Unison at Brighton 27-29 November 2018.

Workplace stewards are the heart of our trade union. UNISON’s stewards are the reason we win campaigns that result in better lives for our members and all working people. Stewards help to organise your colleagues into an effective, strong and welcoming membership. They:
Stewards in workplaces where UNISON is recognised by the employer have rights to take time for training and to carry out their work. Stewards have a right to be involved in how their branch is run and are the most important link between the members and the union. UNISON aims to have at least one steward in each workplace and department, more in larger departments and where members work shifts. Stewards are elected each year by the group of members that they represent and the post is open to job share Please give it some thought. We know you are all really busy and under pressure but we need your help and the more stewards we have the more we can spread the work across the county so each steward only has a small amount to do.
