Socialist Appeal
The Marxist voice of Labour and youth
Paul Holmes’ campaign for the Unison general secretary election has gotten off to a strong start, with support coming in from across the union. It is vital that the left unite behind Paul to win – and transform the labour movement.
As schools reopen after the summer holidays, staff and students are anxious about the lack of planning or direction from the Tory government. To ensure safety and provide proper education, teachers should be given control.
Elections are approaching to decide the next general secretary of Unison. Victory for the left would mark a huge turning point for the labour movement. Socialist Appeal urges Unison members to back Paul Holmes.
