Welcome to our Campaign Blog

The campaign for UNISON’s future has well and truly started. This blog is unashamedly a pro Dave Prentis forum that will serve to highlight the achievements secured in the last 10 years under Dave’s leadership. As well as setting out his clear vision for the future direction of our union, we will expose the failings of his opponents, identify flaws in their policy proposals and uncover the real truth behind their campaign.

    I am not a natural Prentis supporter, in fact I voted against him in the first election and last time I didn't vote at all, but I've been looking at the blogs of Prentis, Holmes and Bannister and their supporters! It clear to me that while Prentis concentrates on dealing with the real issues facing us in our work and public services generally, these pretend General Secretary's spend their time bleating about people who have been disciplined for breaking our rules. Then we find out these 'member's with principles' have run off to use the Tory anti trade union laws against their union.

    People like this who claim to have principles and are interested only in the good of the union should know - you don't use Tory anti union laws against your union - they are a complete and utter disgrace

    I didn't think I'd ever say this but I'm voting for Prentis, the others deserve to be locked up for their support of the use of Tory anti union laws against their own union.
