Vote John Burgess for General Secretary of Unison


VOTE JOHN BURGESS
for General Secretary

The ballot papers out and UNISON members have the opportunity to elect "one of our own". 

If you haven't (like me) received a ballot paper you can phone the UNISON HELPLINE on 0800 0 967 968 from Monday 16th November.

John is a Local Government worker who is heroically leading Barnet in a fight against a Tory Council hell bent on implementing a vicious privatisation agenda. John is winning the hearts of workers & the community alike. John is exactly the leader we need.


John's main opponents in Dave Prentice & Heather Wakefield were both pivotal to the disastrous Pensions & Pay Campaigns that have we have embroiled in over the last decade - we just cannot afford to lose out again.


The 4th candidate Roger Bannister is a seasoned campaigner who I respect, however, he has lost in the last three elections and we cannot afford another defeat. 


John is straight forward, caring, intelligent socialist who can lead Unison into a successful new era. We just have to give him the opportunity.


VOTE JOHN BURGESS
you know it makes sense!

A historic moment - Jeremy Corbyn is the leader of the Labour Party.


A historic moment - Jeremy Corbyn is the leader of the Labour Party.

I am sitting here watching my Everton play Chelsea but for once I feel as though I'm walking on clouds even though there hasn't been a shot in anger..... yet!

Jeremy faced the might of the Labour grandees who raged against him, including 3 Labour Leaders, 2 Prime Ministers & the aptly named Mandelson's 'Young Reformers'. But despite their efforts and their purges Jeremy has won a massive victory - a victory for peace, for justice, for equality. A victory for immigrants, for the poor, for the oppressed.

This is the biggest political victory in the 55 years of my life, and yes, I know, it is just the beginning and there is hard work ahead but that's for tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I still have the remnants of tears in my eyes, so I am off to ponder my role in the future whilst savouring a moment in time..... and Everton have just scored!

JEZ WE DID!!!
