Massive happy birthday congratulations to Rhea Thompson, our fantastic Young Members Officer, who somehow managed to combine getting older with attending UNISON’s Scottish Local Government Conference in Glasgow, proof, if ever it were needed, that dedication to the cause truly knows no bounds!While most people celebrate their birthday with cake, candles and perhaps a quiet lie-in, Rhea chose to mark her special day surrounded by motions, debates, conference lanyards and more acronyms than you can shake a policy document at. Now that’s commitment! 🎂Rumour has it the conference agenda was briefly amended to include “Emergency Motion 1: Ensure Rhea receives at least one slice of cake” though, as with all good conferences, there may have been lengthy discussion about portion sizes, dietary requirements and whether the cake should be referred to a working group first. 🎉Spending your birthday at a conference takes real dedication, especially when the highlight might be a strong cup of coffee and a strategically timed biscuit break. But knowing Rhea, she probably still managed to bring energy, enthusiasm and just the right amount of birthday sparkle to proceedings. After all, who needs balloons when you’ve got conference tote bags?We hope Glasgow provided at least a small opportunity for celebration, perhaps a sneaky cupcake between sessions or a chorus of “Happy Birthday” echoing through the conference centre corridors. And let’s be honest, there’s something quite impressive about being so committed that even on your birthday, you’re still championing the voice of young members. That’s dedication worthy of at least an extra slice of cake… or maybe even two.Wishing Rhea a brilliant year ahead filled with success, laughter, achievements and far fewer meetings scheduled on her birthday! 🎈 ...

Our Health & Safety Committee meeting last night brought some really useful discussions on workplace inspections, risk management and debriefs. We covered key risks people face at work—from violence and aggression to working with machinery, at height, or outside—and the importance of having proper risk assessments/safe systems of work in place. 🤨If you’ve never seen a risk assessment or been involved in putting one together, that’s exactly where our trained Health & Safety reps come in—they can inspect workplaces and help make sure protections are actually put into practice. Reps also highlighted a need for further training, which we’re now taking forward. 💪 We’re always looking for more people to get involved—your health and safety matters. Maybe it’s time to step up as a rep… we’re waiting for your call. ☎️ P.S. It might surprise you, but health & safety is actually pretty interesting—and definitely more engaging than people expect! 😉 ... See MoreSee Less
