It’s Time For Real Change in UNISON’s Service Group Elections

UNISON has Service Group Executive elections taking place in 2022. The election process will start with a branch nomination period which kicks off on Monday 10 January, and culminates in members’ voting from April.

UNISON’s 7 service groups lead the bargaining and negotiation strategies within every sector of public services which UNISON operates within. The members elected to represent you on your SGE need to have a viable and ambitious programme for change, if we are to reverse a decade of stagnating wages and terms and conditions.

Many candidates in these important SGE elections share the Time For Real Change vision for a truly member-led union and if elected will be seeking to transform our union into a fighting, democratic and accountable force. This work will be taken into the Service Groups where UNISON needs a major overhaul in how it negotiates and bargains for members.

UNISON member John McDonnell MP will host this public meeting about the SGE 2022 elections, with a fantastic line up of speakers anticipated.
