πŸ“š Proud to be attending the Scottish Committee Policy Seminar today alongside UNISON Scotland colleagues.
As activists, it’s vital we shape the conversations, challenge where needed and make sure our members’ voices drive policy.
Strong solidarity, strong ideas, strong union πŸ’š

"They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
we will remember them"

Today is World Mental Health Day.

Look after yourself and your colleagues. Take the opportunity to sit down and have a chat. Our workplace is stressful enough, take time out when you need to and take your break
