UCU NEC 2016: Vote @Mandy4VPucu & @ucuLeft slate
We are facing our biggest ever challenges in the fight for access to education: area reviews, the TEF, and cuts which see remaining staff at breaking point. But we are also in a time where the politics of hope are growing. I am proud to be standing with Lambeth branch secretary Mandy Brown on the UCU Left slate.
Mandy is an incredible female activist who led her branch through sustained action in defence of their contracts. She has been at the forefront of the UCU campaigning which has won important victories in preserving ESOL and FE funding – and a vote for her is a vote for a union which will push for properly funded education for all.
Please vote for Mandy, me, and the following dedicated and experienced grassroots activists. We are standing together to defend education. Voting runs through February.
