DON'T throw away that fat @ucu envelope containing your ballot for VP(HE). This is crucial post, whose occupant will chair HEC from Sept 2020 to May 2022. VP(HE) also has the right to chair negotiation teams for #USS & pay & equalities. 1/ https://www.ucu.org.uk/cvs-elections 

Insofar as the shaping of the course of HE industrial action over the next 2 years is concerned, the role rivals that of General Secretary in importance. 2/

If you're keen to be sent out on 22 more days of strikes that accomplish as much as the last 22 days, then vote for @MarianMayer20, the candidate of @UCULeft, which held a controlling majority on HEC this past year.

If you'd like an experienced, sensible trade unionist, who will actually promote the interests of @ucu members, vote for @justinemercer11. 4/4 https://twitter.com/justinemercer11/status/1288533569405628416

My votes for VP will be:
Justine MERCER 1
Gareth BROWN 2
Victoria SHOWUNMI 3

My main reason for ranking Brown over Showunmi is that if anyone other than Showunmi wins, then Showunmi will displace the one UCU Left person (Jo McNeill) who now holds high UCU office, and union members will mercifully be spared any UCU Left people in key leadership roles. 2/2
