Unison Conference Fringe – Unison talks Proportional Representation

More Unison branches have submitted motions on Proportional Representation to the National Delegate Conference than on any other single issue.

With a debate about electoral reform taking place across the wider labour movement, Unison now has an opportunity to take a position.

Join Stephen Smellie (Unison NEC, personal capacity) and a panel to hear why First Past the Post doesn’t stack up for trade unions, and why Unison should back PR at this year’s NDC.

• Lloyd Russell-Moyle, MP for Brighton Kemptown
• Aileen McLoughlin, Central Bristol Health Branch (personal capacity)
• James Anthony, Unison NEC (personal capacity)
• Nancy Platts, Politics for the Many
• Caroline Osborne, Labour for a New Democracy

Chair: Stephen Smellie, Unison NEC (personal capacity)

Hosted by: Central Bristol Health, Glasgow City, Norfolk County, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, Surrey Unison branches.
