Very soon you will receive ballot papers to your home address for Elections for UCU Vice-President and for some constituencies of the National Executive Committee, which opened on 1 February and will close at 12 noon on 26 February. We encourage all members to please vote and use all your votes.
We are aware that the UCU RSS feed no longer appears on our website and that instead you are greeted with "Feed not found." This is due to UCU changing its national website. We will endeavour to restore the RSS service as soon as we can!
