What is the NEC?

The NEC is a senior group of elected members representing different sections of UNISON.

They work closely with UNISON’s staff leadership team, and their values, goals and vision set the tone for everyone who is part of the union.

Their decisions have a direct impact on you and your job, which is why it’s so important the NEC is made up of members who best represent you and what you want from your union.

What’s the election?

Every two years, all UNISON members are invited to vote for the people they’d like to represent them on the NEC.

This year’s vote takes place from 21st April 2025 - 21st May 2025.

Why’s this election important?

These elections really matter - the future of the union is at stake. The current leadership of the NEC does not put members first enough. Too much time and members’ money is wasted on pet projects and vanity concerns - raising issues for factional reasons, not because they are relevant to members, or something the union can influence.

Vote for Members Together candidates, and we’ll make sure UNISON always puts members first.
