The University of Bradford UCU LA ballot for industrial action is now open and all members should have received their ballot papers in the mail.

If you have not received your ballot paper then you can request a replacement by following this link. Newer members who have not received a ballot can use the same link to request one.

The branch believes that there is no alternative but to ballot members for industrial action in our efforts to bring management into meaningful consultation and negotiation in a genuine attempt to save jobs. This approach has worked elsewhere (e.g.at Cardiff and at Dundee) and it can work at Bradford.

As in all ballots, your participation is the key to success. Whatever your views you are urged to vote. Your committee of course recommends a YES vote, but whatever your views you owe it on your colleagues in the branch to participate and ensure that the vote is a valid one.

Over the duration of the ballot you will be contacted by colleagues to check that you have your ballot papers and check whether you have returned same.
