The result of the card vote on Amendment 20.01 at the Unison Local Government Conference was that the amendment was passed by 307,190 votes to 258,243.
This means - in particular - that it is the policy of Unison's largest service group, representing a clear majority of Unison members, is in favour of working with other trade unionists, through Trades Councils, as part of our response to Total Place.
This sensible decision - resisted inexplicably from the right - reflects the common sense conclusion that we need a joint union response to the challenges which now confront us as trade unionists.
Unison is a splendid trade union but - as Local Government Conference has now agreed - we cannot and must not campaign in splendid isolation.
