A new UNISON film, featuring former Dynasty actor Stephanie Beacham, takes a tongue-in-cheek look at why the overnment should give teaching assistants, paramedics, refuse collectors and other public service workers a pay rise.
The two-minute satirical Pat on the Back film highlights the government's hypocritical attitude to public servants – commending their dedication and hard work, yet refusing to lift the public sector pay cap, says UNISON.
But behind UNISON's spoof film is a serious message. Low pay not only harms individual employees and their families, it means services are run down as staff desert the public sector in search of higher wages.

Notts Pride

Nottinghamshire Pride took place on Satirday 29th July. 6000 people attended the march, including group from the UNISON LGBT regional Self Organised Group. The stall was staffed with volunteers from the Nottingham City Branch SOG and straight allies. It was a well attended event where we spoke with so many people with a variety of issues. Many people didn't know what at TU was, or didn't know if they were in one. Lots of people were worried about how Brexit would affect them personally and one lovely man who was in his 60's who has never felt comfortable enough to be out in the work place. Lots of
recruitment took place including three into the Branch SOG.
