Speaking up for our members: “Thank You”

As the nation prepares to clap for carers – including health and other key workers – UNISON is speaking up for our members with national and local newspaper ads.

The ads thank UNISON members for the extraordinary work they are doing to fight coronavirus.

As the public continues to pay tribute to health, care and essential workers, the union is saying “thank you” to everyone leaving their loved ones to care for ours.

This includes a full-page ad in the Daily Mirror today (Thursday 16 April), highlighting just a few of the many jobs our members are doing in the frontline and beyond.
