Let ’s walk and talk …

We’re two weeks into Grovember – UNISON’s month-long recruitment and retention project to grow our union.

So this week is being designated “Walk Round Week” – making sure we are (literally) going the extra mile to meet our members and talk to potential joiners in canteens, wards, depots, offices, schools and call centres. We’re asking our activists and organisers to walk the walk and talk the talk – getting out and about talking to people about why they should join UNISON and stay in UNISON. And just for a bit of friendly encouragement, if you feel like measuring your steps on your phone, Fitbit or pedometer – tweet us your total steps, tell us what you’ve been up to and we’ll award three £50 vouchers for the most steps taken in the line of duty. Just use the hashtags #walkroundweek and #joinUNISON.
