NIPSA TransForm Programme 2026 - 2030

ENOUGH DRIFT. TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR UNION

NIPSA is at a serious crossroads

For too long, poor leadership, weak communication and outdated structures have left members frustrated, unheard and disengaged.  Turnout collapsed.  Momentum was wasted.  Opportunities were lost.  That cannot continue.

THIS ELECTION IS A CLEAR CHOICE

  • Or a member-led transformation that rebuilds NIPSA's power

  • More of the same stagnation and decline

WHAT'S GONE WRONG

  • Members shut out: Decisions made by too few, with too many left in the dark.

  • Engagement collapsed: Low turnouts, empty branch roles, voices ignored.

  • Outdated systems: Missed ballots, slow responses, poor communication.

  • No clear direction: Reacting to crises instead of organising to win.

  • Division instead of cohesion: One union acting like two, weaking us all.

OUR ANSWER: A UNION LED BY MEMBERS - NOT COMPLACENCY

We are backing a clear, collective plan to transform NIPSA into a trade union that is bold, organised and member-driven.​

WHAT CHANGE LOOKS LIKE

  • Your voice heard through modern, accessible participation.

  • Higher turnout, real accountability, no closed doors.

REAL DEMOCRACY

  • A major push on organising and reps.

  • One united trade union across all sectors.

  • Stronger ballots = stronger bargaining power

POWER IN EVERY WORKPLACE

A TRADE UNION THAT DELIVERS

  • Clear service standards you can reply on.

  • Faster responses, proper follow through, respect for members.

  • No more being left out or uninformed

  • Direct updates, digital access, real-time engagement.

MODERN COMMUNICATION

HONEST LEADERSHIP

  • Regular reporting to members.

  • Transparency on decisions, progress and finances.

  • Accountability you can see and measure.

THIS IS OUR MOMENT

We do not accept low turnout as normal.

We do not accept a trade union that stagnates and drifts from crises to crises.

We do not accept being spectators in our own organisations.

NIPSA belongs to its members.

It's time to reclaim it

WHAT'S GONE WRONG

  • Use your vote - it matters.

  • Talk to your colleagues.

  • Encourage those who have disengaged.

  • Re-engage with your branch.

  • Help build a stronger, fighting trade union.

Together, we can turn NIPSA into the trade union it should be.

The decline stops here,
