Welcome! (NEC Elections 2023)

UCU Left calls on members to vote for candidates who are committed to building the fights against the attacks faced by workers in Further, Higher and Prison Education. UCU Left candidates stand for strengthening democracy in our union, and for using the power of trade unions to fight for a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.  

Please encourage your colleagues to use their vote. Democracy depends on participation and low votes give comfort to the employers.
