Dear CCCU UCU members,

Please see this important announcement from UCU Head Office on the national consultative ballot currently taking place  – have your say by voting NOW!

The consultative ballot on the higher education pay and working conditions offer 2024/25 opened last week. You should have received an email containing your unique link to vote from Civica Election Services.

If you have not received the electronic ballot from Civica Election Services, you can now request a replacement via this link. Please note that you will need your unique UCU membership number. The replacement form will close on Wednesday 27 November 2024 (23:59).

If you have already received the electronic ballot, but have not yet voted, we encourage you to do so as soon as possible. You can also:

If you have already voted, then thank you very much for your participation and for supporting your union.

With best wishes

UCU head office
