Jerry Hicks

Can I again convey a massive thank you for your support in our campaign for General Secretary last year.

We did remarkably well by finishing second and in doing so beating not one but two Assistant General Secretaries was incredible [next time eh?].Our principles, policies and message were fundamentally different to any of the other candidates and we offered members a real alternative:

• The Election of all Officials.
• Fighting anti union laws and confronting them when necessary.
• Only supporting Labour MP’s or Councillors who support our members and our unions policies.

Now, we must do the same in the election for the new Unite NEC. A number of people have contacted me and I am asking you to support the following candidates, some of which will be under the banner of 'Grass Roots Left', a name I really like!
