Health pay matters

Members in the NHS are being asked to vote on a proposed multi-year agreement on pay. Ballot papers will be going out on or after 15 May and must be returned by 3 June. Papers can be requested for new joiners up until the 3 June deadline.

Activists and members are asked to:

Print out and display the poster, reminding members of the ballot
Look out for your Electoral Reform Society ballot pack and make sure colleagues know that UNISON is giving members a chance to vote
Read and pass on the leaflet explaining the proposed agreement

UNISON's policy on these proposals will be determined by your vote, so, before you return your ballot paper, make sure you know the facts.
