Ballot's closed - thanks for the support

A little late in posting with being away at the National Young Members Weekend and down in London at at Institute for Employment Rights seminar on the Gender Equality Duty (both of which were excellent).

The ballot for the NEC Elections closed on Friday. Whatever happens it's been a really interesting experience in learning about UNISON's democracy and getting to know even more people across the union.

I'd like to thank all those who have supported me during the election and all that's left to do now is to keep our fingers crossed and wait a month for the result.

I'll blog the results, which are due to be announced on the 11th June.

Only one week left

I can't believe how fast it's gone but believe it or not the ballot for the NEC Elections closes on Friday. I've enjoyed the campaign so far and it's vital that we get as many members (especially young ones) voting as possible. Election turn out in our NEC elections will always be used as a test of our democracy and it's one we a test we must meet.

So with one week to go we must make a last push. Make sure you talk to members in your workplace and ask them if they've returned their ballot yet.

Whatever happens we won't find out the results until the 11th June, which leaves us all in blissful ignorace for our National Young Members Weekend in Belfast which also starts on Friday.

So get those ballot papers in the post!!!
