Vote Ian Watkinson
for NEU National Executive
Elections for the National Education Union NEC run from 3 April to 29 April 2025
Stand up for education: vote for Ian Watkinson for National Executive member.
I pledge to:
Tackle the workload crisis.
Campaign on funding and pay.
Organise around health & safety.
Take action to make schools safe.
Represent the interests of educators in the North-West at a national level.
I have a proven track record on:
Organising around Health & Safety, including leading on the union's work during the Covid pandemic. I led on the Section 44 initiative that saved thousands of lives.
Leading on training and organising to help encourage and build a strong reps and activist base.
Working with other trade unions both in the education sector and beyond, to build coalitions that can deliver real solidarity.
"I am supporting Ian Watkinson for the National Executive. He has been immense over the last few years on health and safety and was instrumental in organising the section 44 advice in 2021. Please support him and vote for him if he is on your ballot paper."
