UNISON has nominated Bridget Phillipson to become deputy labour leader.
The decision was taken by the union’s Labour Link committee, made up of UNISON representatives from across the country. They are all also members of the Labour Party.
Chair of UNISON’s Labour Link committee Linda Hobson said: “Bridget will be a strong, persuasive and passionate voice at the top of the party to help steer the change that people voted for.
“She has a clear understanding of unions and will be a powerful voice for UNISON members working across public services.”
UNISON members who have been members of the union since 8 March 2025 and who pay into Labour Link will be entitled to an individual vote in the contest, as long as they meet the Labour party’s eligibility criteria (eg members will have to declare that they support the aims of the Labour party and must not be a member of any other political party) and are on the electoral register at the address held by UNISON.
