Have you posted that ballot yet? Many will have them hidden on their desk under piles of marking, or somewhere in the bottom of their bag... Please vote - the leadership of UCU really matters! ๐ If you believe branches by themselves can't solve this crisis - we need national unity. Vote left!

Youth unemployment is at an 11 year high - 16.1% of 16 - 24 year olds are out of work, education or training. Here is a piece by myself and Sean Vernell, standing for UCU NEC (London & East FE) arguing why the TUs need to build a campaign to change this.

Here is the intro to my VP hustings speech - solidarity to all on strike and in dispute! We need a leadership who will support all branches and ensure members have the backing of the national union. The crisis facing post-16 education is a national issue, needing a national strategy.

Staff arenโt allowed to say theyโre on strike. UCU members arenโt allowed to mention it to strike-breaking staff. Regional committees canโt talk about it. The NEC canโt talk about it. Congress can talk about it but motions are declared out of order. Is this the accountability Jo was meaning?

Higher Education in the UK faces a clear and present danger from the 'Reform' project. The US under Trump makes clear what is at stake, from ICE to anti-science. If we care about our disciplines, our colleagues and our students, we need to organise.
