Talk:Unison (trade union)

message: Notice the addition of the 'Campaigning' section discussing ID cards - not sure if this is the appropriate place for this - this is an article about UNISON as an organisation, not about decisions that it has made (which are likely to date very quickly).  This was one of many, many decisions made at conferences each year - why should it be given such a priority?  I would suggest removal of this section.  Anyone any thoughts on this?

message: Header says it's 'second largest trade union in the United Kingdom'. Well, what is the largest? I read whole article and didn't find it. Normally it would be 'second ... after (INSERT NAME HERE)' 85.217.14.88 (talk) 10:58, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

message: :There's going to be a general secretary election in January. In terms of adding it to Wikipedia- either we can copy the Unite the Union page and have a section for general secretary elections, or we can create an article like List of internal elections for Unison (trade union) (for example) and add significant national internal elections to it. What to people think would be better? Sources for the election: , , , ,

thread_title:  Upcoming leadership election and forming new article 

message: The impressively comprehensive 2020 General Secretary election information is exceptionally excessive compared to other sections in the article (only one other election is mentioned, with a brief one-line summary) and to other articles about major UK unions' internal elections (for example Unite and GMB).  About half the article is devoted to this election - placing undo prominence on one internal election, without the content containing the significance to warrant this prominence.
Much as it disheartens me to delete accurate information, I have reduced it to a sensible size commensurate with similar Wikipedia articles.  Many, many apologies to Jonjonjohny for all their excellent effort building this impressive content.  Future expansion could focus on tracking down historical election results to build a broad general picture rather than a lopsided spotlight on one short period.

replies: text: I would challenge what you said about it being "exceptionally excessive". It was detailed information and far more detailed than the rest of the article, I give you that, but wouldn't look out of place if the whole article was in a better place. I am the primary writer of the content so I am bias to my work, however as it is accurate, well sourced and relevant I fail to see why it needs to be cropped down. I don't know if there is a precedent for it, but we could create a separate article just for elections, but that entails a lot of work. Alternatively, more work should be put into the Unison article to justify the presence of the depth of content. Jonjonjohny (talk) 00:02, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
