Why is this important?
UNISON’s General Secretary is the highest elected position in the union. What that person does can affect what UNISON says, how we support you, and how we campaign for your pay, conditions, and rights at work and beyond. For 20 years Dave Prentis has served the union, but now he is retiring and someone new will be elected.
There are four candidates, in alphabetical order – Paul Holmes, Christina McAnea, Roger McKenzie, and Hugo Pierre.
Come to the special “hustings” for members in UNISON branches in North-East Scotland. This is your chance to hear directly from each of the candidates and decide if they’ve done enough to get your vote. The candidates will try to persuade you to vote for them, and you can put your difficult questions to them.
Then make sure you vote when the ballot paper comes through your letterbox!
