Wishing you a Merry Christmas – you deserve it

This year, UNISON’s Christmas video message is a thank you, to all our activists and members, for the work you’ve done throughout this difficult year. As the biggest and the best union, representing public service workers across the UK, we know your work is 365 days a year, seven days a week and 24 hours a day. We also know that the challenges you will face over this Christmas period are even more severe because of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
