We condemn the monstrous attack that took place on Monday evening on Stephen Ogilvy. Our thoughts are with him and his family. There can never be any justification for racism, vigilantism, or collective blame. Please read our full statement: ucu.org.uk/article/1454...

Well, it was a good win in Gorton and Denton

A 26.4% swing from Labour to Green. Huge and historic.

When a trade union management chose to ignore the first two of those three words, this is what happens. Meanwhile, trade unionists will continue to stand with fellow workers. Solidarity with @uniteucu.bsky.social

This is what a picket line looks like... nice work @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social - enjoy the rest and we go again in March, unless bosses @northumbriauni.bsky.social feel like talking (we always do!) @andylong6.bsky.social

Staff aren’t allowed to say they’re on strike. UCU members aren’t allowed to mention it to strike-breaking staff. Regional committees can’t talk about it. The NEC can’t talk about it. Congress can talk about it but motions are declared out of order. Is this the accountability Jo was meaning?
