Staff at Reform-controlled councils urged to join union
Nottingham Post
|May 05, 2025
THE head of the UK's biggest union urged staff at Reform UK-controlled councils to sign up after Nigel Farage warned workers to seek “alternative careers”.
-
Mr Farage has said staff working on diversity or climate change initiatives should seek “alternative careers” after Reform UK took control of Durham council.
The Clacton MP’s party made major gains in the local elections, picking up 10 councils and more than 600 seats in Thursday's poll. Unison general secretary Christina McAnea said: “Unions are there to ensure no one can play fast and loose with the law.
“Any staff working for councils now controlled by Reform, and who aren't yet members, should sign up so they can be protected too.”
