There is still time to have your say on pay in the ULA statutory ballot.

Now is the time to demonstrate our power as one collective voice and show that we are unified when seeking a better pay increase for our members. #FairPayToday

Promises have been made to learners and parents/carers too. With ASNs increasing the job cannot be done with the time we have available. When the new ballot paper arrives, return it with a yes/yes vote as a first step to achieving manageable workload and appropriate ASN support #SU4QE @eisunion

As with everything related to LGBT issues that @eisunion.bsky.social puts out, this member briefing is excellent. It will be useful to anyone attempting to stand up for trans rights.
