Ask your council to sign up to the TUC's Stay Safe: Join A Union campaign ✊

Dear Councillor [Their Name],

I hope this email finds you well.

I am writing to ask if you, and your Council colleagues, would support a campaign to help keep people safe at work as we emerge out of lockdown. It would come at no cost to the council, but great benefit to local residents.

Several local councils have joined forces with the Trades Union Congress (TUC) already to promote the message Stay Safe: Join A Union. It would be great if our council signed up, too.

Research during the pandemic has shown that workplaces with unions better manage safety, have fewer Covid outbreaks, and have higher sick pay. It's in all our interests that people are well represented and their health and safety protected. 

With the council's regulatory and enforcement responsibilities, we have a duty to make sure people have access to information and support.

The campaign offers councils:

• Joint comms including poster designs and health & safety advice content.
•  A free text service for residents to find out which union is right for them.

You can get a full info pack from Shelly at the TUC: sasquith@tuc.org.uk

This would be really positive for us to be promoting in the area, and I welcome your thoughts on taking it forward.

Best wishes

[Your Name]
