Checklist for a Good Campaign Issue
A good campaign issue should match as many as possible of these
points:
- Have a good chance of success
The problem must not be so large and insurmountable
that there will be no successes to report at the end of the
campaign.
- Be widely felt
The issue must be relevant to the great majority of
members and potential members and there must be widespread agreement
about the solution proposed.
- Be deeply felt
The issue must be something that people feel very strongly
about.
- Be an issue which can involve members and potential
members
Members and potential members should feel that they
and not outsiders have won the campaign.
- Be worth the effort
Members should feel it is an issue that is worth their
time and effort. If the issue is not so important but requires
enormous time and commitment it might not be worth the effort.
- Be easily understood
The issue can be expressed simply, so that it can convince
members and potential members
- Be consistent with UNISON’s values, priorities
and strategic plans
The issue must be consistent with UNISON’s values
and reflect our priorities and plans.
