UNISON Bolton Trade Union Branch
About Us
Labour Link Officer - Christine Collins & Phil Chanin
As the labour link officer's of UNISON Bolton Local Government branch, our role is deeply rooted in the historic connection between the Labour Party and trade unions.
Dating back to the late 19th century, this link represents a powerful alliance forged to advance the interests of working people and champion social justice.
Our responsibility is to maintain and nurture this vital connection, ensuring that the voice of our union members is heard within the Labour Party and that Labour policies reflect the needs and aspirations of working-class communities. This involves engaging with local Labour Party branches, attending meetings, and advocating for policies that align with our union's values and priorities. By fostering collaboration and dialogue between the Labour Party and trade unions, we strive to create a fairer, more equitable society where the rights and dignity of all workers are upheld and protected.
