To all members concerned about their subs: there has been a delay sending out reminder letters recently as a result of staff absence. I’ve spoken to colleagues at head office now including deputy general secretary Michelle Stanistreet and they hope to get the back log off in the next week or so.

Meanwhile, if you are concerned about subs, use the email address parissubs@nuj.org.uk. It has been tested and is working.

The easiest way to pay NUJ subs remains sterling direct debit. Everything you need to know about the current system for Paris subs collection can be found here: Paying your subs just got a lot easier.
