There will be an informal meeting for all branch members on Friday 23 September 1pm – 2pm. This will be a chance to ask questions about the issues leading to our national ballot for industrial action and about what happens next. See email 14 September from Aisha Walker for the Zoom link.

If you haven’t yet received your ballot papers then you can now request a replacement at https://yoursay.ucu.org.uk/s3/ucuRISING-ballotupdate – don’t wait, it’s better to have two than none! If you are away from home then you can ask for your ballot papers to be sent to your temporary address so that you can get your vote into the post ASAP. Remember to record that you have voted at https://yoursay.ucu.org.uk/s3/ucuRISING-ballotupdate. Recording that you’ve voted now should mean that you don’t get multiple personal reminders to vote.
