What does the budget really mean for you?
by Anna Birley from UNISON’s policy unit
While goings on in Westminster can feel a long way from normal day-to-day life, the decisions made at the budget by the chancellor have a huge impact on everybody’s work, household finances and the public services we all rely on.

UNISON opinion: The budget will deliver more cuts and more pain
By UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea
Working people are bearing a triple burden. The cost of living crisis is still here, taxes are weighing heavy on workers, and in return, we’re getting broken public services that can’t guarantee support for everyone.
It’s even more galling for public service workers – they spend their working lives propping up essential services, only to be undermined at every turn by the Westminster government.
Underfunding services and undervaluing the workforce sabotages every effort made in hospitals, councils, schools, care homes and in the community.
The prime minister and the chan...

By UNISON’s head of local government Mike Short
Local government is in the news. But not for the right reasons.
The Daily Mail asks “Is your council about to go bust?”, the Mirror tells us that every single local authority, bar one, is experiencing cuts to funding and the Guardian reports that councils are resorting to crowdfunding to maintain their schools.
We hear about the youth clubs that have closed and the Christmas lights that won’t be switched on. Each day there’s news that another council can’t balance the books, more services are being cut or closed down and jobs are on the line.
And every single ...
