My warning as the new head of Unison: never again will we prop up politicians hostile to unions | Andrea Egan I have been appalled by Wes Streeting’s attacks on resident doctors. The destructive right wing of the Labour party should know that this is a new era, says the general secretary-elect of Unison, Andr...

“We will call time on our union’s inexcusable habit of propping up politicians who act against our interests, undermine our fundamental values and make our lives worse…. it is simply unacceptable for a Labour politician to describe striking workers as ‘morally reprehensible’”.

I am delighted to announce I have been elected General Secretary of UNISON. This win, above all, is a win for ordinary UNISON members. We public sector workers are on the frontlines of chronic underfunding, low pay, and outsourcing. We bear the brunt of it all. UNISON's central task is to change that reality - our reality. But that will only be possible if we recognise that an organised membership is our greatest strength, if we put faith in our collective decisions, and if we stand up to any employer or politician who acts against our interests. I would like to pay tribute to Christina, who has served our union for many years, and to thank her for fighting an energetic campaign. I will work night and day to transform this union, but I cannot do it alone. Because this isn't about me as an individual. It's about ordinary UNISON members taking charge collectively. We are going to need everyone - members, branch reps, grassroots activists, and our staff - pulling together. Then we can transform our union, and with it the lives of public sector workers across this country. Andrea Egan Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary

This is a win for ordinary UNISON members. Read my statement below:

Lovely stat!

Wes Streeting is smearing and blaming Doctors for the current NHS crisis, yet he blasted the Tories from opposition for doing the same thing.

Some defend Streeting saying he has negotiated with Doctors and sorted out their pay dispute.

Here’s what Doctors think about Streeting and his solutions…

Equality boss expects people to 'follow rules' over single-sex spaces Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson said "things could be sorted out if there is goodwill and recognition that everybody has rights".

Britain’s Equalities Commission continues on its crusade to persecute trans ppl.

It is quoted as saying ‘Nobody is expecting there to be a toilet police.’ In fact members of the so-called gender critical have asked for armed men to police the loos!

Classy.

We cannot tolerate this from Wes Streeting!🚨

Our government tried to let racist, genocidal Israeli football hooligans rampage on Birmingham's streets.

They smeared those opposed to this as being driven by hatred of Jewish people.

Now listen to what the West Midlands Chief Constable told MPs.

What a scandal.

Misleading and nasty in equal measure.

🚨This is a scandal! The government lost thousands of public responses to their railway consultation.

That means that if you want to end the private rolling stock ripoff, or cut fares, or end competition law in the railway, your voice was silenced.

Great response from my union about the appalling, racist targeting of primary schools. Fascists hate trade unions because they unite people and give us collective power. The hate teacher unions because they also defend our pupils ✊
