  • NUJ London Magazine Branch Meeting – October 2024

    Date and time: Monday 21 October 2024, 6.30pm

    Location: Hybrid: NUJ, Headland House (72 Acton St, London WC1X 9NB) and online (Zoom link emailed).

    This month’s meeting will be focused on drafting motions for next year’s Delegate Meeting, also known as DM, the NUJ’s biennial national congress.

    The NUJ is a democratic union and all members can influence policy – come along to share ideas for motions. Don’t worry if you haven’t done this before, branch committee members will be there to explain how the process works and advise on the wording. The final draft motions will be proposed at November’s meeting ahead of the motions’ submission deadline on 27 November.

    If you are interested in joining DM as a branch delegate or putting your nomination forward to any of the NUJ councils and committees, come along as well.

    As always, RSVP for the branch meeting is not necessary but it’s helpful if you are attending in person to get enough refreshments for everybody.

    Please note that the meeting room is on the first floor and the lift is currently out of order.

    We look forward to seeing you!

    NUJ London Magazine Branch Meeting – September 2024

    When: Monday 30 September 2024, 6.30pm
    Where: Hybrid: NUJ, Headland House (72 Acton St, London WC1X 9NB) and online (link below).

    Dear London Magazine Branch Member,

    There is much to talk about campaigns for better terms and conditions in the magazine sector. Join us at this month’s meeting to discuss this and more issues affecting our union and members ahead of next April’s Delegate Meeting (the NUJ’s biennial national congress). We encourage LMB members to put forward ideas and speakers for future meetings on issues affecting our industry, media workers, as well as national and international trade union matters, including what the new UK government can bring, the cost-of-living crisis, the ongoing wars in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, etc, the climate crisis, and more.

    You should have received or will soon receive ballot papers for the election of the NUJ’s new general secretary: we encourage all members to vote and have a say in who will be the next leader of our union. You can read more about the two candidates standing here. Hustings are being organised by different branches, check our Twitter/X feed to find out more: @NUJmags

    Please join our branch meeting on 30 September, either on Zoom or, even better, in person, so we can thrash out the way forward for the branch, topics for future meetings and what policies we want to take to April’s Delegate Meeting. RSVP is not necessary but is helpful if you are attending in person to get enough refreshments for everybody. 

    We look forward to seeing you!
