UNISON NEC Elections 2023: Recommendations

1.3 million ballot papers have started to drop at the homes of UNISON members. Please vote in these elections, the future of the union is at stake. We need a NEC that will be a voice for all members, reject division, defeat this Government and stand together to make our union stronger.

Above are my personal recommendations for all the contested seats (some were elected unopposed). I have not sought the agreement of anyone to be in these recommendations. 

Everyone who has contested elections will have up to 3 ballot papers. You can vote for your regional reps (based on where you live), your Service Group (based on your job) and for National Black members and Disabled members seats (even if you do not consider yourself to be Black or Disabled). Please feel free to pass on this information. 

 

Many thanks to my UNISON Branch for re-nominating me for our NEC

This evening my UNISON Greater London Housing Associations branch executive agreed unanimously to re-nominate me for the Community General NEC Seat and Denise Thomas for the Community NEC Female seat. The branch represents over 3000 members in Greater London and nearby. 

This year there are the biennial elections for all positions on UNISON National Executive Council (NEC). The ballot opens on 4 May 2021 and runs until 27 May 2021. The results will be announced on 11 June 2021.

Many thanks for this support and vote of confidence from my branch. 

The Executive also supported a number of other candidates, who want to unite our union in order to take on the government and not make public service workers pay the price of Covid.
