Union building in the NHS feat. Louise Chinnery

Let me run a few stats by you:  £104 million in recovered back pay, £41 million in members’ pay per year going forward, 5000 new members recruited and 164 days of Industrial action with employers who refused to engage.  They are the results, so far, of Unison's campaign to recruit and organise Health Care Assistants in the NHS.  National officer Louise Chinnery tells us how it was done - and what she and the union of learned in the process.  First broadcast as an Organising For A Change episode in November 2024.
