Calling notice for Executive Committee has been sent to all members

We have sent the calling notice to all OU UCU members for the annual election of our Executive Committee.

It is the time of year once again to start the process of electing our UCU branch officers and committee members. The deadline for nominations is 4pm on Friday 5th October 2018, and the election results will be announced at our Annual General Meeting on 15th November 2018.

And any motions from members for consideration at our AGM should be sent to ucu@open.ac.uk by or on 26th October.

We have eleven branch officers and up to twelve ordinary branch executive committee members to elect. Please consider standing for election if you have an interest in trade union activities, or a wish to support your fellow employees on employment-related matters. For the branch to be representative it is desirable that we have members from all sections of Open University staff on our branch committee, and this is more important than ever given the changes and challenges we are facing at the moment.

The attached calling notice gives details of the nomination process and the election, and brief descriptions of the branch officers' roles. If you want further information please get in touch with us at ucu@open.ac.uk.
