📢 Council and school staff need a fair pay rise.
Unions representing 1.4 million workers are calling for a wage rise of at least £3,000 to tackle soaring workloads and rising costs.
Without action, recruitment and retention will worsen.

Lancashire UNISON Branch opposes the closure of 10 adult social care establishments across the county.

The closures will have a devastating impact on our dedicated members providing essential services & vulnerable residents who depend on them for their health, safety, & dignity

[Lancashire UNISON Branch @UNISONLANCS]

We call on the council to pause these proposals and engage in more meaningful dialogue with staff, residents, families, and the wider community.
