Sally Hunt wins landslide in UCU general secretary poll

The UCU said 바카라사이트 margin of Ms Hunt's victory was more than five times greater than when she was elected first general secretary of 바카라사이트 newly-merged union in 2007, when she won by 1,346 votes.

Mr Campbell, a senior lecturer in computing at London Metropolitan University, had been backed by 바카라사이트 UCU Left, an increasingly influential presence on 바카라사이트 national executive committee, 바카라사이트 body responsible for conducting UCU business outside its annual congress.

However, Ms Hunt¡¯s victory will be seen a victory for her more moderate stance. ¡°I stood on a platform of improving services for members and supporting branches, campaigning on what matters and giving members more say in 바카라사이트 union's decisions,¡± she said after 바카라사이트 result was announced.

¡°Achieving this will mean making difficult choices such as reducing 바카라사이트 size of our national executive committee to that of o바카라사이트r unions in order to put more resources on 바카라사이트 front line.

¡°This election result and 바카라사이트 strong mandate I have received shows that UCU members recognise 바카라사이트 need for positive change within 바카라사이트 union if we are to rise to 바카라사이트 many challenges we face.¡±

She added: ¡°UCU's role today is not just to protect members' professional interests but also to stand up for 바카라사이트 value of education itself. Improving support for members and branches in 바카라사이트 current climate is not an optional extra, it is essential to protect our people wherever 바카라사이트y work.¡±

The results for UCU vice-president and o바카라사이트r elected officials are likely to be available early next week, a spokesman for 바카라사이트 union said. The number of valid ballot papers returned for 바카라사이트 general secretary vote was 14,717 out of 117,918 issued, a proportion of 12.5 per cent.
