There has been a delay by UNISON in circulating the letter to all retirees that would effectively launch ReUNION. We are working on that, but meantime we welcome 9 new members who have all joined online since 1 April:
Julie Criddle, Ray Harris, Jonathan Lilley, Pam Shepherd, Richard Taylor, Steve Torrance, Jennifer Whalley, Bernie Wilde, Chris Wilkinson
We have recently learned of the deaths of the following members: H Davis from Cleveland, Jack Thomas an Area Officer from the North West, Shirley Vint from Plumstead, Gloria Weston from the North West, Ann Kenton from Bexley and David Wild, an Area Officer from Yorkshire who played a major role on the NUPE Staff Association. We have also learned of the death, earlier in March, of Ken Curran an Area Officer from the Yorkshire region. Our thoughts are with them and their families.
ReUNION is the association of former UNISON staff (previously AFNS). We are a social and friendship group providing support and opportunities for former colleagues to renew past friendships.
