Today we must all take the time to remember those who lost their lives in the holocaust. We must all stand with the Jewish community in the fight against anti-semitism #HMD2021

We care about the NHS and we care for each other. That’s why we all need to play our part.

I urge you to have the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can.

It’s the light at the end of the tunnel. twitter.com/unisontheunion…

As an experienced and respected negotiator and passionate campaigner, I can think of no better person to pass the baton on to and take our union forward twitter.com/DavePrentis/st…

This is a historic day for our union, and I am delighted that Christina - a close friend and colleague of over 30 years - has today been elected as General Secretary of our great union

So proud that UNISON - UK's largest union is a strong, growing union. In the last year (up to October 2020), 190,286 public service workers chose to join UNISON. That's a huge testament to everything our union does - public service workers see that, and they want to be part of it

More cards and kind gifts this week. Thanks especially to Lisa and our wonderful team at UNISON Direct - from an idea I had 20 years ago to a dedicated team taking over 5 million calls since You are absolute stars 🌟

Without a doubt, the government should have acted sooner. But now the new rules are here, we must all do our bit. The next few months will be grim, but the vaccine is the light at the end of the tunnel twitter.com/DavePrentis/st…

While most of us will now be safe at home, key staff in hospitals, schools, care homes and other essential services will keep doing their jobs, despite the risks. Many are exhausted, covering for colleagues off sick with Covid twitter.com/DavePrentis/st…

The new restrictions are tough, but the virus has to be beaten, or the NHS could be overwhelmed, with terrible consequences for those needing care

Today was my final meeting of UNISON’s NEC, after 47 years in UNISON and 20 years as General Secretary. I was touched by the kind words and generous gifts - but UNISON’s successes aren’t mine alone, they belong to our members, activists and staff who together make out union great

A late finish tonight the UNISON Centre, but great to spend socially distanced time with some of our great team after 9 long months. Proud of the way we have kept our union visible and there for our members throughout this crisis

And on to Scotland - thanks for the kind words and send off UNISON Scotland

And thanks for the gift and all the memories !@NorthernUNISON twitter.com/DavePrentis/st…

Great to address my final Northern Regional Council. A great Region that campaigns, that is visible and is always there for our members

A real honour to receive this award from HOPE not hate last night. UNISON’s anti-racism and anti-fascism campaigning has always been a priority for me. Thank you to Hope Not Hate for all their incredible work

It takes a whole team to run a school safely and smoothly and I am so proud of UNISON members’ work. School support staff have gone above and beyond this year and they deserve to be celebrated as #StarsInOurSchools unison.org.uk/news/general-s…

Support staff are the #StarsInOurSchools – they’ve worked tirelessly through this pandemic to keep schools safe and support pupils’ learning and wellbeing. They’ve done their schools and their union proud. unison.org.uk/news/general-s…

“Once inflation is taken into account, the chancellor’s announcement of an arbitrary pay pause means about £520 less next year for a nursery nurse, £659 less for a social worker and £510 less a year for a local government admin officer.” unison.org.uk/news/general-s…

Reviving the economy will take a gargantuan effort from everyone. That means investing in the entire economy, not seeking to divide and rule between the sectors.

Key workers mustn’t be taken for granted and left carrying the Covid can twitter.com/DavePrentis/st…

Health staff have already shown they and the NHS more than deserve a rise this year. This can’t wait on a lengthy pay review body process. The government should deliver the goods now twitter.com/DavePrentis/st…
