Unite branch officer and workplace rep elections 2022
If you are a Unite member, there is an opportunity until the end of March 2022 within Unite to stand to be a workplace rep, safety rep, learning rep, environmental rep or equality rep if you are in an industrial branch or a branch officer in any branch.
This opens the door to standing for election as a delegate to constitutional committees in Unite and gets you involved in Unite’s structures.
This is a great opportunity to get loads of new people involved in the union.
We encourage Unite Rank and File Supporters to come forward as reps or branch officers.
Please feel free to contact if you are interested in becoming a new rep, have any questions or need any guidance with the process.

Goodlord Referencing department strike
Workers in the referencing section of Goodlord, a lettings platform, are taking strike action between 22 February and 5 March over fire-and-rehire plans which would see many salaries reduced by £6,000 to below the real London Living Wage.
Goodlord is using the fact that employees are now working from home due to the pandemic to make this cut.
Goodlord provides services for a number of estate agents in London, including Winkworth, Best Estate Agents, Andrews and Featherstone Leigh.
Goodlord @sogoodlord care about their social media presence. We can put pressure on them by calling them out on social media platforms.

The workers are members of Unite London Digital & Tech branch (LE/7098L).
