UNISON and the TUC have moved their cost of living rally and lobby of Parliament to Wednesday 2 November.
The lobby was originally planned for 19 October, but has been changed because of a rescheduling of the TUC Congress.
The new date will give more time for members to set up meeting with MPs, to explain what the cost of living crisis means for them and their families, the need for a pay rise and the pressures on public services.
The rally that evening, at Westminster Central Hall, will be led by frontline workers.
Both lobby and rally are part of the joint-union campaign to make the government listen and take urgent action on pay and living standards.
General secretary Christina McAnea said: “We’re using all levers at our disposal to demand better for public service workers. The government refuses to recognise their vital contribution and is failing to address the cost of living crisis.
“UNISON and the TUC are working together to change that. We want all UNISON members to contact their MPs, face to face, either locally or in London, to spell out exactly what they do to keep our public services running, and why they deserve a decent pay rise.”
When a member signs up for the lobby, using the link above, they will be contacted by the TUC and supported in booking a meeting with their MP.
UNISON will also be in touch with them, providing briefing and priority campaign messages.
