UNISON General Secretary election: For an independent inquiry and a re-run of the election

The Issue

We the undersigned, after listening to an audio recording of an official UNISON staff meeting in the Greater London Region on 21 October 2015 here http://www.4shared.com/mp3/HTYMDTN-ce/unison.html and reading the transcript here https://uniondemocracyblog.wordpress.com/2015/12/01/the-transcript-of-the-meeting-on-21-october/  and the article in Private Eye here http://www.private-eye.co.uk/issue-1407/news are calling for the following: 


1.    An immediate independent inquiry into the alleged misuse of UNISON resources by UNISON officials during the General Secretary election to be carried out by a respected figure (outside UNISON) within the Labour movement in order to restore confidence in the integrity of the union. 


2.    The current Unison general secretary election to be declared null and void and the election to be re-run.
