Ballot papers should be arriving with members for the 2025 NEC Elections. The branch committee are backing these candidates as we feel they can deliver real change and becoming a union that believes in organising workers first and giving members a louder voice.

NEC ballot papers are dropping on doormats and it's another lovely day, perfect for a walk to your nearest postbox and take part in our union's democratic processes. A reminder that these are the nominations made by our branch.

One of the strikers came to visit our branch recently and told us of the disgraceful cuts to pay that these workers are expected to take. Join the Megapicket on 9 May if you can. Solidarity!

May Day returns to Manchester this year on Monday 5 May with a march starting in St Peter’s Square at 3pm followed by an event at Niamos in Hulme from 4:30pm. With the rise of Reform and the far right it's more important than ever to show strength from our movement.

Happy birthday to one of our greatest alumni, socialist and suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst. She studied at Manchester School of Art which was one of the constituent schools that eventually became Manchester Met.

Yesterday we stood alongside colleagues from UCU to call for an immediate ceasefire in Palestine as part of Nakba Day and the TUC-backed workplace day of action for Palestine.

Another year, another below inflation pay rise and thus a real terms pay cut! Our pay is also rapidly being left behind by the public sector. The current HE funding model is broken and can’t last. It’s bad for workers and bad for students. We need real change, right now!
