With one dispute won but another floundering, some believe lack of strikes could actually benefit UK’s main academic union in latest talks with employers, but others are preparing to try to unseat the general secretary in an election that promises to be a ‘referendum on last five years’

UCU Left need to start to support more mainstream candidates, rather than the outlier ones they seem to chose lately.
The only winner in this election was UUK. Good bye UCU - not prepared to be out on strike for another 5 years to achieve nothing. ( Be honest - economic forces got our pension benefits reinstated)
SL-in-Post-92 and kjk: There is a reason why UCU Left candidates are not 'mainstream' and for the 5 years of HE strikes that resulted in no tangible benefit to members. Please see my and John Kelly's Jan 16 Opinion piece in THE, "UCU Left’s Trotskyist politics are driving UK HE’s perennial strikes" , and the longer online blog it's drawn from, https://campaignforucudemocracy.com/2023/12/18/the-trotskyist-politics-of-ucu-left/. And please don't allow UCU Left's distortion of trade unionism to put you off membership of UCU.
Thanks Adam I had read your article and had commented on it in the original post. It wasn't UCU left that led to myself and colleagues leaving UCU it was Jo Grady's re-election.
