MEP campaign endorsement: UNISON

I am really pleased to have the formal endorsement of UNISON in my campaign to be elected as a Labour MEP for the East Midlands.

I have worked closely with UNISON members locally on a wide range of issues including the Living Wage, public sector pensions, defending the NHS and fighting the government's public spending cuts which are hitting our public services. UNISON is the biggest public sector union in Britain and in Europe.

I am looking forward to working with UNISON and other trade unions across the East Midlands as we campaign for next year's important European elections.
