Bristol Green Party Supports UNISON Strike

Bristol Green Party backs UNISON members at Second Step to strike this January 13th-14th, and 20th-21st.

As Second Step employees face real-terms paycuts and lacking a meaningful recognition agreement, we wholeheartedly support everyone meeting at the picket line.

The Green Party has pledged to fight against oppressive anti-union legislation and protect workers’ right to strike.

Our charity and mental health sectors continue to crumble under this Labour government, which claims to be for working people and yet refuses
to tax the super-rich to fund vital services meaningfully.

The Green Party listens to workers and promises to fund services fairly.We would achieve this by reforming capital gains tax and introducing a
wealth tax of 1% on assets above £10 million and 2% on assets above £1
billion.

Bristol Green Party encourages all workers at Second Step to join UNISON and organise for fair pay.

We sympathise with Second Step staff and members of our community who may be impacted by the strikes, with hope for a fair pay resolution that
improves Second Step’s capacity to serve.
