The election will set the tone for the next few years for the union - will we be a union that accommodates to the employers or will we be a fighting back union.
The United Left are holding hustings to determine which candidate we will be supporting in the election.
The hustings meeting will be open to all United Left supporters who will be able to listen to and question the candidates, and then vote to determine the United Left's choice.
The meeting will take place on Saturday, 5th September 2009 from Noon - 3:00 pm.
The venue is:
Friends Meeting House
6 Mount Street
MANCHESTER M2 5NS
The venue is approximate 3/4 mile from Manchester Piccadilly Station.
United Left supporters who wish to be considered as potential candidates for the post of General Secretary Designate should write to the National Secretary at 33 Woodstock Road, BIRMINGHAM B13 9BD, giving notice of their interest, in good time to arrive by Tuesday, 1st September.
Potential candidates will be asked to give an undertaking not to run in the election against the United Left candidate if they fail to win the United Left selection contest. The same principle will also apply to individual supporters, i.e. they will be asked not to campaign or vote for any candidate other than the official United Left candidate.
For further information you can email the National Secretary.
