General Secretary Election – Southend nominates Paul Holmes

Southend branch has nominated Paul Holmes for General Secretary because we know he wants change.
Unison nationally is not delivering for members. Branches currently only get 25% of our subs and no say over national and regional resources. Paul wants half of Unison resources directed to us and our members.
The Government is coming at us with more attacks. Paul has the best track-record of leadership in fighting for members and winning – on pay, jobs, safety, racism and discrimination .
Paul is the grassroots candidate and will take the job on his current wage of £32,000, not the £138,000 salary advertised.
