The award is presented annually at our Scotland Congress to the reps or branch who have undertaken significant organising work and made a positive impact in organising their branch or institution. The award provides important recognition to organising work.
This year the UCU Scotland Officers awarded the honour to the UCU branch at the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) recognising their organising work to deliver the highest turnout in a local ballot in Scotland; their strong picket lines in their dispute; and the new recognition and procedural agreement won at UHI Executive Office. The award was presented at congress by UCU General Secretary, Jo Grady, to branch delegates and officers, Dr Heather Fotheringham and Sorcha Kirker.
