UNISON members will be taking part in what’s been dubbed the ‘last mile citizens’ lobby’ at Westminster on 5th November, a third and final effort to speak up for the rights of EU citizens in the aftermath of the UK’s departure from Europe.
For more information read the news story and visit the event page.
If you’re a Southend UNISON member and would like to attend please contact the branch which will be covering travel expenses and subsistence.
Alternatively, an e-lobby is also available for people who cannot make the journey or take the day off.
