Transforming both our working conditions and our union is urgent. Together we can continue to transform our union, our working lives, and our collective futures. Here's a video about me, my ideas for our union, and why you should vote for me for @UCU Vice-President #Gareth4VP pic.twitter.com/OGBqweNt2J

In order to win our disputes we need proper escalation plans, starting with easy-to-achieve actions that can be mobilising tools for full withdrawals of labour. In this video, I talk about the need for a different approach to industrial action in @UCU. #Gareth4VP pic.twitter.com/mWj98oLNk4

There’s a @UCU Prison Ed and ACE hustings taking place today that I unfortunately couldn’t make due to a clash. Here, however, is a short video on prison ed. Members working in the sector are welcome to get in touch with questions. #Gareth4VP. pic.twitter.com/nda713qXX8

.@ucu has to hold universities – and USS – to account in terms of their relationship to fossil fuels. As Vice-President, I would seek to establish structures that can coordinate and amplify local climate sustainability victories across all our sectors. #Gareth4VP pic.twitter.com/81EqBcF8s9

Over the weekend @UCU called for university teaching to be moved online as much as possible, to prevent putting staff and students at grave #COVID19 risk. I agree: as trade unionists it is our duty to protect jobs and as human beings it is our duty to protect lives. #Gareth4VP pic.twitter.com/4gpg3yC9aC

The injustices we face extend beyond the specific 2019 pay claim on which the Four Fights, One Voice campaign slogan was based. @ucu needs to be bolder, more ambitious, more concrete, and fight for more groups of people than that claim did. #Gareth4VP pic.twitter.com/SmBevt3Lel

1 week left until the final safe postage day for your @UCU Vice-President and LGBT+ rep ballots. Please encourage as many members as you can to get theirs sent off! There are still a few more days left to order replacement ballots too. https://t.co/uK5W6zcCwQ #Gareth4VP pic.twitter.com/oqud0QbPWP

If elected as Vice-President, I would serve our union until the Spring of 2024. Here are my four priorities for us to collectively transform @ucu by the end of my term. #Gareth4VP pic.twitter.com/NeE8a6If1C

Calls for a grassroots democracy in @ucu are now commonplace. But that can only happen if we make our union transparent. This is necessary in order to empower members to stand for elected positions and hold those they've elected to account. #Gareth4VP pic.twitter.com/35RxRwGAuM
