The elections for the National Executive Council (NEC) are held every two years and 2009 is time for the next NEC to be elected - make sure you have your say by voting in the election.
The NEC is elected from all the regions and service groups in Unison and is the national representation on issues and campaigns between conferences as well as working with Unison staff to support members.
"I am asking all UNISON members to come to London on 28 March to march for jobs, justice and the climate as the world faces up to the economic crisis caused by fat cat bankers," says general secretary Dave Prentis.
Thousands will march through London as part of a global campaign to challenge the G20, ahead of their 2nd April summit on the global financial crisis.
On Wednesday this week, around 50 members came to the Council Chamber in City Hall to attend the 2009 branch annual general meeting. The branch was pleased to see so many members present and would like to thank those members for attending during a very sunny lunchtime.
All Norwich City branch members are invited to the branch’s Annual General Meeting.
The meeting will be held at 12.45pm until 2pm on Wednesday 18 March in the council chamber. Food and refreshments will be available from 12.30pm. If you can’t stay for the whole meeting, don’t worry – just come for as long as you can.
What is an AGM?
The AGM is the annual members meeting and has a number of purposes:
To elect officers and stewards to the branch for the coming year
To inform you of the branch’s activities in the past year
To provide information on current issues – such as single status, the council budget or pay
To allow members to submit motions to be put to a branch vote
Why should I attend?
