For the first time @unionworkersunion.org have taken a movement wide approach in their state of the nation survey & report.
A useful reflection on how collectively we can all support positive internal change with a sector wide approach.
Worth dual carding with UWU alongside regular staffer unions!
A stark warning for those not clear of the consequences already!
Words and commitments are fine to hear from Westminster.
But what nursing really needs is real change, fully funded career progression and recognition in their pay now of the advance skills they carry out day to day!

Well done @rcoanews.bsky.social and @assocanaes.bsky.social for taking action and stepping away from activity on Twitter/X
It seems that every day reputable organisations are waking up to the fact that they do not need to remain there.
I know many, many trade unionists will be so disappointed and angry at local members not being given a say over who their candidate should be. This isnβt the way any democratic organisation should be run. Nowβs the time to unite our movement not divide it.
