Health Trusts Must Stop the Cuts

UNISON is challenging all 5 Health and Social Care Trusts to refuse to make the further £70 Million cuts demanded by the Department of Health. UNISON is demanding that the Trusts say 'enough is enough' and refuse to make cuts that will damage the health of the public and threaten the rights of our members. 

UNISON are fighting hard to protect our members, their families and their communities from these cuts. We will not stand aside while the public suffers and will use all means to protect the future of our public health service and our members. 

UNISON CHALLENGES HEALTH TRUST BOARDS TO STAND UP AGAINST FURTHER CUTS

Tomorrow (24th August) UNISON, the largest union in the health service, will challenge all five Health Trust Boards to refuse to comply with a demand for a further £70m in cuts.

The Trusts have been asked by the Department of Health to produce these cuts, despite the absence of a Commissioning Plan, and in the face of financial crisis.

UNISON will remind all Trusts that they have both legal and moral obligations to the people of Northern Ireland and to the health service workforce.

The 133rd Durham Miners’ Gala was held on Saturday 8th July 2017

UNISON activists for across the Northern Ireland branches turned out in force to support this very important and long standing event in the trade unionist calendar.

The Durham Miners' Gala is a large annual gathering held on the second Saturday in July in the city of Durham, England. It is associated with the coal mining heritage (and particularly that of miners' trade unionism) of the Durham Coalfield, which stretched throughout the traditional County of Durham.
