Dear colleague,
There are now just two weeks to go until the Westminster general election. I know that many of you are active in campaigning locally either for the party you support or on issues that matter to you. I also know that almost every member I speak to, whatever their opinions, recognises the importance of the election to the future of further and higher education.
UCU is of course independent of all political parties so while we would strongly encourage you use your democratic right to vote, we will never tell you who to vote for.
I have been asked by many members to provide factual information on the major parties’ policies towards further and higher education and other issues of importance to staff. To help members, we have therefore created a web site where you can compare the parties’ positions.
I hope you find it a useful resource.
Best wishes
Sally Hunt
UCU general secretary
