I have worked for Ford Motor Company since 1988 when I started as an apprentice mechanical fitter, the first female to do so in Ford UK. I’m currently a Supervisor in Transport Operations based at Dagenham, Essex.

I am a resilient individual with a passion for the automotive industry, an industry that is facing the biggest transformation of a lifetime. Employers are being opportunistic during this transition, attacking jobs, pay and conditions. The climate crisis is not disputed, but there must be a Just Transition for our workforce. We must stand united against greedy employers and lobby the Government to back our industry to secure good jobs for the next generation. I will serve the automotive sector with integrity, as I have done for the last 3 years.

Our sector faces challenges especially the recent closure of Luton and the disastrous cyber-attack at JLR, which has resulted in a devastating effect on the supply chain.

We must continue to demand the same rights as our European colleagues on consultation and exit costs so that multi-national companies are unable to solve problems of a global nature at the expense of members.

I’m passionate about lay member democracy which has been the strength of our Union, and with the support and nomination of your branch I will prioritise the interests of our members.

Let’s reunite our union, let’s rebuild our industrial and political strength, demand accountability with members money, and overcome division with unity.

I’m seeking your branch nomination as your EC representative for CAT in the upcoming Executive Council election 2026. My commitment is clear, every member should feel valued and included within our union. No one should feel marginalised because of where they work, everyone matters.

In my current roles as Deputy Convenor, Workplace Representative, and Health & Safety Representative at MAG Stansted Airport, combined with my experience on the CAT NISC and as a long-standing RISC delegate, I bring extensive knowledge of the challenges our members face, both now and in the future.

I ask for your support, regardless of region or workplace, to make sure your voice is represented.

Together with my colleagues we aim to ensure transparent governance of the union, provide effective scrutiny of the leadership and uphold our democratic trade union principles.

Comrades, it has been an honour to serve as Executive Councillor for the CPPT sector for the last nine years, and I’m asking for your branch’s nomination for the new term.

Make no mistake, our sector is in the fight of its life. I’ve worked tirelessly supporting members and taken the fight to the Government to change the policies we need to survive, delivering speeches across the world highlighting our issues.

And I won’t stop. I have held sub-sector conferences to understand the issues affecting our members, so I can drive change. I have worked with governments, European and global union federations, and international unions on decarbonisation, net zero, green energy, just transition, and skills to understand the impacts this will have on our members.

But there’s more to do. Vote for me, and let me continue this work, which will be vital for all members in the CPPT sector.

Achievements: Senior Workplace rep at a Housing Association | Not for Profit RISC | Chair of Not for Profit NISC | Chair of SOC for Unite’s 8th Policy conference | Regional & National BAEM Committees | Chair London AAC

In 2025 LIVV Housing members won a 7.7% pay increase. LIVV Housing members showed what could be achieved when we support our members in struggle. If elected to the EC I will continue to support our members in struggle and be your voice on the EC. Equalities should be at the heart of everything that we do. I support the CYW JNC pay claim. I also support the EC 2025 statement on Palestine.

If elected to the EC I will work with the NISC: to oppose Austerity and the cuts in Welfare benefits, in the fight for Climate Justice, to fight cuts in the International Aid budget.

Achievements: Trade Unionist & Activist for 34 years | Chair of the Docks, Rail, Ferries & Waterways National Committee | National Convener at Svitzer Marine.

I’m committed to a lay member led, democratic and accountable union; one that’s feared but respected and part of our wider movement, proudly standing in solidarity with workers at home and internationally.

Building trade union power and confidence has never been more important as we face the challenges of Sector automation, artificial intelligence and the fight for investment in infrastructure. It is time to reunite our union, rebuild our industrial and political strength, demand accountability with members’ money, and overcome division with unity and solidarity.

Colleagues, I seek your support for re-election to the EC as your representative in Education, to help build on the things that I have already achieved, such as:

• Visiting all parts of the UK and Ireland, as well as the Isle of Man. Trying to give all members and reps a voice, when so many have felt left out. The first time I believe anyone has attempted this.
• Combining meetings with a social, so reps and members feel at ease and look forward to them, knowing that we have a lot of the same Issues and tackle them together.

I am convinced that this approach, that started with the Estates forum and then working with the chair of the new Technicians forum as well as FE (and hopefully Gallery’s, Museums, and Library’s next) is part of why our sector has, I believe, its highest membership ever.

Cheers, Ken Drury.

Our Energy & Utilities sector needs a strong, effective voice on the Executive Council — one that listens and delivers. I will be that voice.

I merged two branches to build a united, stronger voice. As London and Eastern’s Regional Industrial Sector Committee Chair, I won unanimous support for long-overdue constitutional reforms — delivering a more diverse, representative, and inclusive delegation that’s already making an impact. I’m a seasoned rep who knows real power comes from hearing members and fighting for them.

My focus is clear:

• A Just Transition: Protecting jobs with guaranteed retraining.
• Fair Pay: Securing above-inflation pay rises.
• Safe Workplaces: Zero compromise on your health and safety.

I will take your priorities to the highest level and get results.

Vote for a voice that listens and delivers. Vote for Mark Jones.

I am seeking your branch/workplace nomination to stand as your Executive Council member for the Engineering, Manufacturing & Steel sector. I’ve been a rep for 21 years and been the British Steel Convenor for 13 of those years. I’m chair of our RISC & NISC, been a delegate on them for 13 years and am Vice Chair of Unite’s Base Metals Advisory Committee. I’m also Treasurer and Secretary of my branch.

I also believe in working in solidarity with other unions to achieve our goals. Our success at British Steel was a direct result of our unity and solidarity with other unions. We’re stronger together and the membership MUST ALWAYS come first.

I am seeking your nomination to serve as your Finance & Legal representative on Unite’s Executive Council. 

Today’s challenges are clear, we have a pressing need for a strong, clear voice to defend our sector against unprecedented attacks on jobs, services and our Unite colleagues. 

With 20 years as a representative, I have been part of many union committees, including the RISC. My record demonstrates my commitment to a lay member–led, democratic, accountable union, one that is respected, sometimes feared, but always firmly rooted in the wider movement, standing with all members. 

Our great union must stand together, revitalised and build on our industrial strength and reputation, while refreshing our political presence, influence, and respect. Accountability for membership finances is essential, and we must overcome division with unity at every level. 

As your representative, I would ensure that our collective voice is heard, respected, and acted upon.

Achievements: current Executive Council member for the GPM & IT sector | active union rep for 40+ yrs | Branch Secretary | FOC, H&S rep | Served on our NISC, RISC & Regional committees | Strong voice for our sector

We need to defend the terms and conditions of our members, making sure we have adequate resources to our organising and recruitment campaigns, and continued support for our representatives and activists when in dispute.

Let’s reunite our union, let’s rebuild our industrial and political strength, demand accountability with members’ money, and overcome division with unity.

It is a privilege to serve on Unite’s Executive Council, not only for our sector, but the Union as a whole.

Local Govt worker for 24+ yrs | Rep for 12 yrs | Local Govt delegate to Executive Council for 3 yrs

I am standing because I believe in the values of solidarity, collective action and decency that our union and labour movement hold dear.

I advocate continuously and unashamedly for Local Government within our union, within our movement and beyond. Local Government workers’ voices need to be heard within our union and beyond, now and for the future.

If elected, I will work steadfastly to ensure the voices of our Local Government workers are heard and the values of our union are cherished and enhanced.

Trade unionist for 15 yrs | worked for Birmingham City Council 23 yrs | member of Unite’s Women’s Committee, RISC, NISC, Regional Committee & F&GP

I’ve always stood with workers, defending our rights, challenging exploitation, and fighting for fairness and equality. These socialist principles drive everything I do. I’ve seen and supported the strength of organised workers and the need for a bold, fighting union that puts members first.

As a socialist, I believe in collective industrial power – defending workplace access, winning better pay and conditions, and protecting our public services from cuts and privatisation. We must organise from the ground up, empowering branches, reps, and convenors to take action and reunite our great union regionally and nationally.

Branch Secretary | Workplace Rep in Health | former Chair of the SE Health RISC, Healthcare Sciences NOPC | member of our Health NISC | 25+ yrs Trade Union experience | Previously Vice Chair of South East Regional Committee

I understand the issues that impact our members, in which I have been active in supporting them and will continue to do so. I believe I can be the most effective in taking our sector’s matters forward and properly represent you on our Executive Council.

I have a track record of success in all issues that come my way and will continue to fight for our members at local, regional and national level. I will be your voice on the Executive Council and as your EC member I will continue to argue for what is best for all our members.

30+ yrs Unite member | BAEM EC Rep for Passenger Service Sector Seat

I am a Black and Asian Ethnic Minority with 30 years of being a Unite member and providing services to the community and wider public.

It has been my privilege to represent the passenger sector members for the last term with issues around Pay, Pension and terms and conditions, as well as Equalities, issues from period poverty, raising awareness on menopause, time to peer, and appropriate uniforms for all bus drivers locally, regionally and nationally.

Therefore, I am seeking your continuous support to Nominate and vote for me in this election period.

Bus driver for 20+ yrs | EC member for 3 years

During my time as a bus driver and your EC member I’ve actively been fighting for and supporting all bus workers in their struggle for better terms and conditions, including equality, dignity and respect at work and improvements for women in our industry. That’s why I opposed the decision to remove our EC woman’s passenger seat and will continue to fight to have it reinstated.

In my workplace, I’m the convenor/senior steward, I organise and lead a great team of Reps in Go Ahead London Central and General in all talks re pay and conditions that affect our members in their garages.

I believe in a lay-led union and understand this means doing everything to make sure the member’s voice is heard and with your support I’ll continue to be your voice on the EC.
