Free Financial Surgeries

Pay up now! Come to Edinburgh
1.2% is not enough - we need a pay rise!
Following months of UNISON pressure, the Scottish Government have said they will lift the NHS 1% pay cap. That's a welcome start, but what does it mean?
1.2%? 1.7%? 2%? Inflation is 2.9%, so that's still a real terms pay cut. And what about all the pay we've lost over the last 10 years? See just how much you've lost with our pay cut calculator www.unison.org.uk/our-campaigns/pay-up-now.
Don't leave it to someone else to fight for your pay
NHS staff, public sector workers, and UNISON members and their friends and families from all over Scotland, will gather at Holyrood on Saturday 7 October to show we're serious about getting a proper pay rise.
Without you and your fellow workers there, we won't have the strong voice we need. The government will say health workers didn't turn up, so there's no real demand by staff for a decent pay rise.
The fun bit - Coach transport will be free, and there's going to be free t-shirts, goodie bags for the kids, face painters, children's entertainers, and 500 free tickets to Dynamic Earth. What's not to like?
Bring your kids, bring your partner, bring your granny, or just bring you!
Coaches are free, but you must book in advance. Just call the UNISON Resource Centre on 01224 620624. Spaces are limited, so get in touch by Monday 25 September.
Coach pick up points are:
Coaches should be back in Aberdeen around 6pm, and after for places further north.
We will provide bottled water, but please bring a packed lunch for the day. We will have a collection to raise money for the local CFINE Food Bank (www.cfine.org).

Help us get a pay rise for all UNISON members
Join us on 7th October and show the Government we mean business
We are
keeping public sector pay at the top of the agenda this autumn and have today
created a parliamentary petition as part
of our Pay Up Now! campaign:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/200032
Please
sign the petition, share it on social media, ask everyone you know to add their
signature and help us get to the magic 100,000 signatures as soon as
possible to try and secure a debate in
Parliament. That will really help us to keep the pressure on politicians and
get our members the pay rise they deserve.https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/200032
Join us on 7th October and show the Government we mean business
