From Monday's @unisontheunion migrant worker rally at Labour Party Conference.

Fair visas now

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

UNISON has been a key partner of @SRTRC_England since its formation 30 years ago.

Support for SRTRC is so crucial in the current context of the rise of the far right.

Proud to speak at their event this evening.

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

Throughout history, it's those who speak out when it's hardest to do so who make real change and are really remembered.

That's why I'm so proud to speak at the Socialist Campaign Group rally this evening in Liverpool. #labconf2026

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

Proud to speak at the Cuba Solidarity Fringe last night.

Now is the time to turn that solidarity into action —by raising our voices, mobilising our members, and demanding that the British government and the international community speak out.

Hands off Cuba.

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

Proud to speak at @Lab4TransRights fringe at #labconf2026

There have been many setbacks over the last few years.

But my solidarity is unwavering – UNISON will keep campaigning and organising. And as a trade union movement, we will change the law.

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

'I'm in chains, you're in chains too / I wear uniforms and you wear uniforms too / I'm a prisoner, you're a prisoner too, Mr. Jailer.'

Inspired by the power, emotion, and determination of the UNISON migrant care workers at the rally yesterday in Liverpool.

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

Proud to be marching alongside inspiring UNISON migrant workers at Labour Conference in Liverpool.

It's time for the Government to listen.

End plans to extend the Indefinite Leave to Remain period, introduce a sector-wide visa, and pay care workers properly!

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

"We care for your families. Ours need security too."

Today in Liverpool, care workers marched to Labour conference with @AndreaEganGS

As politicians discuss the future of social care, the workers already providing that care are calling for a better system and #FairVisasNow 🩵

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

Time to insource now!

[Insource Now @InsourceNowGB]

“It’s time for the billions that flow out of our public services to be brought back in house.”

– @AndreaEganGS on UNISON’s #InsourceNow motion at the Labour Party conference

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

Let's be clear a National Care Service will not be possible if the Government attacks the migrant workers who play such a key role in providing care.

On the eve of Labour conference, UNISON general secretary Andrea Egan has urged the government to listen to migrant health and care workers and those, like Angela Rayner, speaking out against plans to extend the wait for permanent residency.

Joint Statement from National TULO - Labour's 11 affiliated unions.

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

@labourunionsuk Solidarity

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

Britain should not collaborate with a military that has killed thousands of civilians and that created a grotesque humanitarian crisis in Yemen.

We shouldn’t collaborate with the Saudi war effort.

I've signed this open letter along with 9 other GSs 👇

[Transition Security Project @TransitionSec]

🚨NEW🚨: Ten unions call for Andy Burnham to end Britain’s military support for Saudi Arabia, due to the war crimes it has committed in Yemen.

The unions also argue that, contrary to government claims, “Escalating this war will make our bills more expensive”.

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

This week I joined trade unionists at the @psiglobalunion Public Services Fightback Conference in Vienna.

We discussed strategies to combat privatisation, underfunding, and the far right, and the need to embed organising in our unions to prepare for the challenges ahead.

[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

After years of underfunding, it's time for a public service bailout.

Tax wealth. Make the richest pay their fair share. Fund our public services.

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

📢✊ Public service workers have been holding our services together for years. Enough is enough.

They cannot keep being asked to do more with less.

They show up for us every day. Now tell the government: show up for them.
