‘After 14 years, we absolutely need a Labour government’
ROGER McKENZIE speaks with CHRISTINA McANEA about the priorities Unison is setting itself in preparation for a change at Westminster
Christina McAnae and Roger McKenzie

CHRISTINA McANEA has been general secretary of Unison for the past three years. I know because I was there and got roundly defeated in the election for the post.

This was my first opportunity to sit with my former colleague since her election to discuss the challenges facing Unison, including, of course, the general election.

We managed to grab some time at the end of the union’s national delegate conference in Brighton last week.
