UNISON members working in vital public services are out there making a real difference to people's lives in these difficult times.In spite of our effort we face an uncertain future. The cost of bailing out the bankers and tackling the recession they caused has pushed the government's finances deep into the red. Some politician's self-appointed"experts" are pushing for pay freezes, job cuts and even more privatisation asthe only solution. T That's why UNISON has launched the biggest, most wide-ranging campaignin our history - A Million Voices for Change.
It's about putting people before profit, and putting public services at the heart of our strategy for building a stronger economy and a fairer society.We want UNISON members in Stirling Council to get involved in the Million Voices campaign because we think it really is time for change. Real change.UNISON members in Stirling Council know the value of public services and of the jobs we do in our communities. That's why we're calling for: · social justice - help for those facing redundancy, repossessions andpoverty, not bonuses and tax cuts for millionaires · .good jobs - environmentally sustainable and socially useful jobs, with decent pay and pensions and a strong union voice · quality public services - no more privatisation. Increased investment in accountable public services like health, education and housing .Stirling Council UNISON branch supports this campaign and urges all members and service users to add their voice to our Million Voices for Change.
