NEC Election Results

UCU NEC - HE Sector - UK-elected Seats

UCU members need representatives on the NEC who will fight alongside them. Our NEC should be made up of the best local and regional activists who stand up for and mobilise UCU members. They need to be representatives who truly make themselves accountable to the members and they need to reflect the dynamism of our new union, women and men, black and white, gay and straight, disabled and non-disabled.
