Jo Grady’s first election manifesto where she says she wants the GS to be more accountable to members

Staff aren’t allowed to say they’re on strike.

UCU members aren’t allowed to mention it to strike-breaking staff.

Regional committees can’t talk about it.

The NEC can’t talk about it.

Congress can talk about it but motions are declared out of order.

Is this the accountability Jo was meaning?

Very sad to read Susan George passed away

Fond memories of an inspiring leader especially around the work we did on trade and arguing for more just trade. Also her proposal for a People's Constitution for Europe [EU] worthwhile recalling

Condolences and sympathies to you all
