About UNISON Matters

Welcome to the branch “Blog” which aims to become a new way of speaking to members and reaching out to potential new ones. (That is not to say that tried and trusted methods will be set aside, quite the opposite.)

Derek Baldwin (exploring Bryn Celli Ddu, Anglesey)This blog is edited by Derek Baldwin (left). He was elected as the Publicity Officer for the branch in April 2013. He previously served as a steward for Unite, working for a housing charity at a time when a “merger” (in fact a takeover) severely damaged trust between staff and managers. He ran the union’s intranet pages among other duties. Derek started work at the University in 2012 and still regards himself very much as a “newbie”. His priority will simply be to keep building on the work of his predecessors in the role, while exploring new ways of reaching out to members (and potential members), this blog being one of them. Your comments, ideas and suggestions are very welcome.
