21 July 2010: UNISON backs Ed Miliband for Labour leadership
 UNISON’s national political committee today gave Ed Miliband its backing in the forthcoming ballot for Labour leadership.
The decision was taken after consultation throughout the affiliated members of the union. Hustings at UNISON’s national political conference, attended by 200 UNISON Labour Party members representing the regions, were held in early July. All the candidates were present and the hustings were broadcast over the union’s website.
There will be an OMOV ballot of UNISON’s affiliated members, conducted by the Electoral Reform Society. Affiliated trade unions make up one-third of the electoral college. The ballot closes on 22 September.

Scottish Manifesto 2011 - update Nov 2009
The Scottish Labour Party has been consulting on its first stage policy process that will lead to the manifesto for the 2011 Scottish Parliament elections. Labour Link Scotland aims to make the UNISON voice heard.
Our first stage response to the Manifesto consultation was based on discussion at the Labour Link Seminar in May 2009 and
the Labour Link meeting in September 2009.
The Party's policy commissions considered all submissions ahead of the Scottish Policy Forum on 21 November. Second stage documents are being drafted for spring conference in March 2010 and further consultation ahead of a full policy conference later in the year. |
