I’m delighted to be re-elected as general secretary, after extensive debates on the future direction of UCU - thank you to everyone involved.
We will work together to build our union, take on employers, and win for members. All our focus must now be on this.

Lots of hustings have been arranged for the ucu general secretary election.
I’m really looking forward to visiting so many branches, and setting out my case for re-election. Don’t see your branch? Contact your rep. I’m doing all I can, to come along to every event I’m invited to.

It’s 6 months until the 138th Durham Miners gala, and I’m delighted to share an endorsement from Stephen Guy. He’s known for his work for Durham Miners, as a trade unionist who believes in education, and he never misses a UCU picket in the North East.

The election begins in Jan, and I am genuinely excited to get out on the road, and into every workplace to discuss the manifesto and strategies with you.
Our union has come so far, but establishing what more we still need to do has been energising. Let’s get to work.

We have to continuing building and winning in further, adult, and prison education.

In higher education, UCU members have been calling for strategic thinking and a new plan. I echo that call.
In this GS election I am putting my strategy on the table.

Proud to be wearing my #Grady4GS badge today! I'm supporting @DrJoGrady because casualisation is one of her priorities. Have you posted your ballot for UCU General Secretary yet?
For all these reasons (and probably more that I've forgotten) I think you should vote #Grady4GS. I'm just a PhD candidate and can't claim to be an expert in UCU but if anyone wants to ask me any questions I'm happy to try to answer them!
