What a force. I've learned so much from Agnes. When I joined the UoN UCU branch, she was everywhere, doing everything. As President, she was incredibly even handed, cutting through sometimes tense discussions to find the consensus view, and then scrupulously representing it. On picket lines, in casework, in committee meetings, she was always there. She raised the standard for all of us. But also with her around, union work was definitely not a chore! There'd be facepaint, music, jokes, pub socials, and movie nights at Broadway, mostly organised by Agnes. She brings the fight, and she brings the joy. I'll miss her. We'll all miss her.
