A lively aggregate AGM saw members at two meetings, the first at
Woodhill House and the second at the Kintore Arms, Inverurie, throw
their weight behind campaigns to champion public services and public service workers and to fight the Tory government's anti-union bill.
The AGM also backed a local campaign
to call for the appropriate provision of healthcare staff to carry
out the administration of medications or medical procedures within
council and third sector settings; and to put a stop to the voluntary
administration of medicines that puts low paid and often untrained staff
at risk.
And those members working in professions subject to registration with the Scottish Social Services Council
pledged to encourage colleagues to join UNISON for their own protection
and to urge members to contact the branch if they are under SSSC
investigation.
Our speaker at the aggregate meetings was Carol Ball, joint-Vice Chair
of the Scottish Local Government Committee alongside our own Inez Teece.
Our thanks go to Carol for a very interesting and powerful presentation
on council cuts and the Scottish campaign to champion Local Government
services and members.
