Um. Good question. There are two slates. The United Left slate (labourist, supportive of and supports by bureaucrats) with its “Members First” tagline sets alarm bells ringing. It’s clearly a putative opposition to Sharon Graham. The other slate is pro Graham and allegedly for a rank and file left leadership.
Can’t say I’ll be doing anything in support of any of them given recent events in Unite but I’m definitely not voting for the UL slate

Should add Gary Walker and Chris Neville should be supported.

I think smokeandsteam posted a list of one of the slates above. This is the other slate, I wouldn't recommend them though:How can you tell who's on what slate? I can't see it. Might be blind though.

Results are out:
Anyone in a position to comment on what it all means? Of the three people mentioned by name on this thread as being decent, I don't think any of them got on. Just checked and it looks like one of the construction R&F candidates got on, but Frank Morris didn't.

From a quick look around, only article I could find, other than skwawkbox mentalness, was from the AWL:

Although they're notably always lukewarm about Graham anyway cos of her being too mean to Labour.
Unite the union election results: a mixed bag
The results of the triennial Unite the Union Executive Council (EC) elections, announced on Thursday 27 April, were a mixed bag.

Can’t disagree with a word of that. I’ve deliberately not done anything at all and sat back. The only attempt to mobilise seems to have been full timer led for the UL and we know they can’t deliver anything. Piss poor but a setback for Sharon Graham who is now surrounded by the UL

SP seem to be claiming it as a victory:
Not seen anyone actually go through and count up the actual numbers of what the NEC looks like now and what it looked like before, and I can't be arsed to do it myself either.

It’s certainly a victory for them as one of their members was elected. She does have more supporters than before. But, the best candidates on the pro-Graham list lost, as did the deadwood on the list, conversely the UL returned a number of its key supporters. It’s a fucking odd victory….
