NUJ Nations and Regions

Hello! We’re Raj Ford and Kevin Stanley – the BBC Secondees representing members of the NUJ in the Nations and Regions – working with the National Broadcasting Organiser Paul Siegert and our colleague John Barsby.

We’re familiar with your rotas, working practices, and ongoing industrial issues. In addition we have a good understanding of the wide ranging roles in the Nations and Regions, a working knowledge of the latest technology and the way your managers operate.
