Breaking News....Northern Region backs Dave Prentis in UNISON GS election‏

A well attended AGM of the 86,000 strong Northern Regional Council of UNISON agreed to nominate Dave Prentis in the upcoming UNSON GS election.

The meeting in Newcastle UNANIMOUSLY backed a regional committee recommendation – reflecting the lack of support in Northern region branches for the ultra left candidates. No other candidates were proposed from the floor.

It is fitting that today’s decision of one of the union’s foremost campaigning regions means that an unprecedented 12 out of 12 UNISON regions are support Dave Prentis in the 2010 leadership election.
