in the USYD Branch elections

For the many, not the few

We believe in a union that represents and engages with all members.

We believe in strategic activism: strikes are an invaluable industrial tactic, but a truly effective union is one that uses all the tools at its disposal.

We need a leadership that provides creative, effective industrial strategy built on majority support for issues that matter to the many, not the few.

A platform
for Renewal

We have a comprehensive plan to renew our branch based on majority support for priority issues.
