Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Close vote for UNISON Vice President

Unison's NEC today elected East Midlands Regional member Chris Tansley as Vice President. Chris got 27 votes. I was one of 23 members voting for the defeated candidate, Mike Hayes.



This was the closest vote for the position of Vice President in my time on the NEC. Current President, Gerry Gallagher, stands down from the NEC on Monday adding to the significant number of vacancies for which elections are required in the near future.
