Support Jo Grady for UCU General Secretary

I am re-contesting my seat as General Secretary of UCU.

Since 2019, when I became GS, we have:

• Won two UK-wide higher education ballots.

• Delivered the biggest pensions win in UK trade union history in USS.

• Pushed back against the government more than any union during Covid.

• Won dozens of ballots and settlements in further education.

• Doubled our membership in prison education.

• Stabilised overall membership as it’s fallen across the movement.

• Significantly raised UCU’s profile.

• Set a climate and equality agenda to be proud of.

• Led on transgender and non-binary rights within the union movement.

But this is just the beginning. I have so much more to do. And I can’t do this alone.

This is why I’m asking for your help to implement my vision over the next five years. I am asking for a suggested donation of £10 to print and post my campaign materials to branches. You can read my manifesto and more about my vision over at my campaign website.

Anything left at the end of the campaign will be donated to UCU UK’s fighting fund.

Four years ago, you elected one of your own to change our union. Help re-elect me now, and together we’ll finish the job.

Donations are being managed by Jo Edge on my behalf. An anonymised spreadsheet of money in and money out will be made public at the end of the campaign, but in the meantime, if you have any questions about this process, please contact us via GoFundMe or the email address on my website.
