“Tell us what matters” campaign stall :
Contact me to book use of the region’s campaign kit. In In addition to engaging with staff, running this campaign will help your branch to identify issues for future activity.

Use #JoinUCU on your social media message regarding UCU recruitment
#JoinUCU on Twitter #JoinUCU on Facebook
“Show us your #UCUmugshot” :
UCU materials are a great way to raise the profile of the union in your workplace. The more the people see the union in their daily lives, the more likely it is that they will think of the union as being something real and relevant to them. ucunorthern.org.uk/ucumugshot
New job, join UCU :
Your branch might like to focus on new members of staff. If so, the region’s ‘New job, join UCU‘ campaign is a good idea.
