Dear subscribers,
As of 5pm today, Monday 3rd March, the ballot period for the 2025 UCU NEC and officer elections will end, and the ballots will go to Civica, the independent scrutineer, to be counted. Results will be made available by 5pm this Thursday 6th March.
Elections are always a very busy time for us, and this year has been no exception. Therefore, we’re taking this opportunity to send a huge thank you to everyone involved in our campaign. Thank you to those who stood for election this year, as it takes real guts to put yourself out there. Thank you also to all those who campaigned for our supported candidates, or helped to get the vote out in any capacity. So if you distributed our flyers in your department, urged your colleagues and friends to vote in the elections, or read and distributed our elections mail-outs, or nagged in your branch WhatsApp group: we send you our sincerest thanks.
We hope that all of our candidates, as well as all those we have supported, will be elected, and that the 2025–26 NEC will be accountable to our membership, as well as clear-eyed and ready for the enormous challenges ahead.
We are the union.
In solidarity,
UCU Commons
