I want a new way to vote so all our votes count. I want those in power to negotiate and work for peace.
My vote for Andrea Egan for Unison General Secretary has been posted. Have you voted? We need change!

So proud my branch gas backed Andrea Egan @andrea4gs.bsky.social Now let's get it the vote to change our union and have a leader with a strong voice
🏥A massive thank you Central Bristol Health for their nomination.

UNISON members in the NHS have had it tough under the Tories, and so far things are little better under Labour. I will work with your Service Group Executive to ensure we have a strategy on pay that delivers for members! ✊

How a National Commission on Electoral Reform can lead the way to fair votes
September 24, 2025 at 8:52 AM
I am in Labour Link in @unison.org.uk Who made this decision? Is this what democrac looks like in our largest trade union? It demonstrates what we know - the UNISON establishment supports Starmer's wishes wherever they lead. Andrea will review Labour Link. We need change at the top andrea4gs.org.uk

I'll be voting for Andrea!

It looks like there will be just two candidates for UNISON leader – Christina McAnea and Andrea Egan. Elections can generate waffle and confusion. I've picked through their manifestos for actionable pledges – stripping out the vague and aspirational.

At Glastonbury, we chatted about the need to fix our voting system and the rally that Young MVM is hosting on the 6th of July.

Great to see it mentioned in @rollingstoneuk.bsky.social
