The NUJ in the newsBallot papers have now been issued for the election of editor of the Journalist and NUJ Left is urging members to vote for Richard Simcox.
Richard is a first-class journalist and, crucially, a committed trade unionist – the essential mix to be the next editor of our union’s magazine at what is certain to be a challenging time for journalists and journalism.
There has never been a greater need for a union that connects with the rising mood of militancy around the country and fights to defend every job.
That’s why NUJ Left is asking for your vote. All our candidates pledge to campaign for strategies based on the most effective and strident action – official or unofficial – to defend jobs, pay, conditions and quality journalism.
