Farewell to Steve - and welcome to Ravi!

Steve Murphy

This month we say farewell to a stalwart of the Midlands TUC as Steve Murphy, Regional Secretary of Ucatt, leaves us to take up a similar post in his native Yorkshire. Steve has been a tireless advocate for his union and has championed opposition to the cuts, organising a very successful conference in Derby in 2010. Steve has been very active in ensuring Ucatt reps get the right training and has promoted weekend schools to his activists as a way of ensuring they have the right information to best represent their members.

Ravi Subramanian

UNISON have also had a change of Regional Secretary in the West Midlands, with Ravi Subramanian moving from the east midlands to take up his new role. Ravi joins us at a time when public service workers face truly unprecedented cuts to their jobs and pay and conditions - not forgetting the services they provide.
We wish both Steve and  Ravi every success in his new jobs.
