A day in the life... proving that PUBLIC WORKS

by Chris Bartter and Malcolm Burns

In an atmosphere where political parties are bidding against each other to see who can make the biggest cuts in public spending, it is essential to make the case for public services.

Everybody contributes to and uses public services. We want to show how much people benefit from them. UNISON Scotland’s “A Day in the Life” follows an ordinary woman from morning till evening and tracks how she benefits from the many public services she uses every day.

To develop this campaign we want lots of members to tell us not just about how they provide public service in their own work, but about how they make use of all public services, whether water, health, education, transport, leisure or others.

We’ll use the best stories in a campaign video.

Sign up online www.unison-scotland.org.uk/publicworks and let us know how you use public services in your everyday life. You can use a diary form like the leaflet - or you can just write about what public services you use anytime of day.

It’s your day. They’re your public services. Tell us about it!
