Clarion UNISON AGM 2021

 

Yesterday evening was the AGM of UNISON members who work for Clarion Housing Association. It was a "hybrid" meeting held physically in Clarion headquarters in London Bridge and virtually on MS teams.  We have members in 22 UNISON branches in all 9 English regions. 

I  was pleased to have been re-elected as the UNISON National Convenor (unopposed). 

Many thanks for our UNISON National Officer for Housing Associations and the Voluntary Sector, Andrew Dobbie for giving us an update and to all reps and members who attended and participated in this meeting (including London Regional officer, Ezequiel Kramer). 

New UNISON Convenor to Clarion Housing Group: Joseph Ogundemuren

Passing on the baton as the new UNISON Convenor of Clarion Housing Group to Joseph Ogundemuren (middle of picture) following a unanimous decision at meeting of activists last month.

Joseph is a proactive and experienced UNISON steward, member of the London branch Executive and existing staff council member. After 11 years as a local  convenor I am so pleased to be handing over to someone who is competent and capable.

Of course this always happens when people move on in UNISON... :)

While I am still an employee and a steward, I am on unpaid leave of absence to carry out my duties in Newham. I will still help out but have limited capacity due to obvious reasons. But I am still around and will always consider myself to be a Labour movement activist, first and foremost, until the day I die.
