Campaign launched to recognise local gov workers
UNISON has launched a new campaign to help raise the profile of it’s 600,000 local government members.
Including social workers, librarians, housing officers, refuse collectors, cleaners, homecare workers, youth workers, environmental health inspectors, and many more, the union has launched its Local Service Champions campaign to ensure their efforts are recognised.
The campaign will include a social media and branch-based Celebration Day on 17 October, a short film for YouTube showcasing members’ work, new campaign materials, and joint work with the Labour Party to call for more funding for vital local government jobs.
Mike Short, UNISON deputy head of local government, said: "We are determined to celebrate our local government members. They are the unsung heroes of the public sector, too often not getting the credit they deserve for their work helping vulnerable people, working in our communities, providing vital local services. We have launched our campaign to help show the public the difference our members make every day.”
