ELECTION OF NORMA STEPHENSON AS PRESIDENT OF UNISON

That this House welcomes the election of Norma Stephenson, a healthcare assistant from Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust since 1973, to the Presidency of Unison; notes that this marks the culmination of over 30 years' unstinting commitment to fighting for workers' rights as a volunteer; and expects that the verve and passion she has always brought to her work will continue to make a significant difference for the 1.3 million members of Britain's largest union.
