The branch nomination process for the national and group elections closed last week and the nomination list for the NEC has now been published.

Left Unity would like to thank all those branches that supported and nominated the Democracy Alliance candidates. In a year like no other, the number of nominations our candidates received compares well next to our political opponents and when viewed against the last couple of years. This shows the majority of branches still recognise the important work done by the Left Unity leadership of our union.

Fran Heathcote received 70 branch nominations for President, over half the total nominations, and this pattern was repeated across the NEC nominations.

There is still much work to do, of course, and no one should be complacent going into the elections themselves. PCS Left Unity have led from the front during a challenging twelve months and the work our activists have done at all levels of the union is recognised in the published list of nominations.

Thank you once again, but please do all you can to ensure the Democracy Alliance slate receives that same level of support when the elections get under way next month.
