About us: We want to grow as a union. We want more members, and we want more engaged members. We want to organise together to improve our working conditions and the world around us. To do this, we need to build a union branch that is open to all members – and potential members – across KCL. It also means we need to recruit. One of the main reasons people don’t join unions is that no one has asked them to. Let’s change that together!

Meetings and motions: The branch meets monthly on campus and online. Here is a list of meetings for the year and here (2020-2024 and 2025) you can find the motions that we passed in previous meetings. Further information of organising activities arising out of these passed motions is available on the pages Current dispute and Wins.
