Cooper "The humanitarian catastrophe worsens.. children dying of starvation while food rots at the border" So you'll stop all arms exports to Israel? No So you'll halt all trade? No So you'll impose sanctions? No So you'll end all military ties? No So its just empty words

This is utterly despicable. They are bringing the union into disrepute. Solidarity with @uniteucu.bsky.social

An inspiring first day of picketing to kick off our 4 weeks of strike action! Faculty, students, AND a dog or two made an appearance.

How concerned are you that Israel will start annexing parts of the West Bank? Yvette Cooper: "We have been clear, & I have been clear to the Israeli foreign minister, we have been clear to the Israeli govt, that they must not do that" Or you'll write them a stern letter, right?

Another day, another anti-fascist counter protest in Falkirk where UCU members, reps and officers are standing against racism. @ucuscotland.bsky.social #refugeeswelcome

The people of Glasgow and beyond turned out. We made clear that we are united, we're together and, alongside the STUC, gave solidarity and support to all those facing hatred and persecution in our communities.

With another 9 @ucu.org.uk branches now calling on UCU to do the right thing we wonder if @drjogrady.bsky.social is listening to her members.

Really impressed to see fellow YP members and supporters move swiftly from WTF mode to redoubling efforts to build a democratic party from below. ✊

From @rs21.bsky.social YOUR PARTY: DON’T FUCK THIS UP revsoc21.uk/2025/09/18/y...

A Substack from me, addressing the consequences of the Tommy Robinson movement last weekend. We probably won't see more marches on that scale this year. What will happen, though, is a huge boost of energy for Farage and Reform davidrenton590934.substack.com/p/tommy-robi...

In our fight for fair pay, we stand alongside all the unions representing higher education staff. Our @eisunion.bsky.social brothers and sisters back UCU members, just as we back them 🤝 #WeAreTheUniversity

Universities are under attack. By defending ourselves, we are defending the whole sector. Vote YES. #WeAreTheUniversity

Telling fash f**kwits to f**k off in Falkirk today

UCU Edinburgh is proudly affiliated to @sutrscotland.bsky.social. This week, UCUE members stood together against budget cuts and mass redundancies. Tomorrow, many of us will stand together in Falkirk against racism. Come and join us! #RefugeesWelcome

Sometimes solutions are easy @drjogrady.bsky.social & @ucu.org.uk Let’s sit down and talk without conditions or threats that damage everyone. It’s time to resolve this dispute. Our statement, with support from the following branch committees:

Old College picket at @edinburghuni.bsky.social this morning @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk @ucuscotland.bsky.social #NoRedundancies #StopTheCuts #DefendEveryJob

"There can be no immunity for terrorists", says the ambassador for a terrorist state.

Frankie is looking forward to joining the @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social picket line tomorrow. He knows that #WeAreTheUniversity and wd need to #StopTheCuts and #DefendEveryJob

There is no trade-off between pay and jobs. Don't let the employers fool you otherwise. This dispute is on three things: 1.Pay uplift = at least RPI+3.5% or £2,500, on all pay points 2.Protection of national agreements on T&C's 3.A national agreement to protect jobs & subjects #WeAreTheUniversity

The upcoming ballot isn't just about pay UCU demands are around protection of jobs + Ts&Cs 1.Pay uplift = at least RPI+3.5% or £2,500, on all pay points 2.Protection of national agreements on T&C's 3.A national agreement to protect jobs & subjects

What they said! 👇 We are stronger together (but in a 'solidarity' way, of course) - so have a coffee and a chat with colleagues & invite them to join UCU if they haven't already www.ucu.org.uk/join

There should be a joint statement from the five unions in the next day or so (which also mentions pay, jobs, and nationally agreed employment conditions). For now, here is some further detail on what our dispute is about and what we UCU members will be balloted on nationally: #WeAreTheUniversity

Hi #TUC2025 & @paulnowaktuc.bsky.social, enjoy congress! Can you reaffirm the movement's commitment to challenge disproportionate pay deductions for Action Short of Strike and upholding the democratically-voted-upon policies of a union? +have a word w our GS... uniteucu.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/u...

Lovely people in the far-right. www.thenational.scot/news/2545091...

UCU policy: “To work with the TUC and other TUs to campaign for a change to the law to prevent such deductions, including lobbying government and opposition parties” Maybe while @drjogrady.bsky.social is at @tuc.org.uk in Brighton she can work on thi… oh! policy.web.ucu.org.uk/motion-infor...

Why is our trade union emulating the worst behaviour of our employers towards UCU staff? How many of our letters, motions, attempts to bring motions from lay members pressing for resolution have been ignored now? Solidarity with all @uniteucu.bsky.social #UnionStrong #ReclaimUCU

🚨 Third consecutive vote for industrial action 🚨 ✅ strike action: 76% ✅ action short of a strike (ASOS): 80% ✅ turnout: 77% ASOS begins today with @ucu.org.uk threatening staff: "We'll deduct your wages." Double standards and vindictive attacks undermine us all. #ReclaimUCU

Solutions, not scapegoats People, not profit Socialism, not barbarism

Posted my vote for the amazing @beehughes.bsky.social this morning #UCUElections

So, UCU Commons are running a biased ‘survey’ (full of leading questions) which any Tom, Dick or Vice Chancellor can easily fill in and will apparently use that to inform their decisions at HEC next week rather than the properly run consultative ballot that went out to all members. 1/2

Outnumbering the fash by over 2:1 in Perth earlier today #NaePasaran #RefugeesWelcomeHere

Israel has assassinated almost 270 Palestinian journalists. This is aimed at suppressing coverage of its livestreamed genocide and creating a media blackout ahead of its plan to commit further atrocities. Take action now. Read more: loom.ly/A8L7S08

Indeed. It is to our eternal shame that staff are once again being pushed into this position by their working conditions. Solidarity ✊

Unite members, including many employed in arms factories, have successfully challenged their leadership’s refusal to support action against Britain’s supply of arms to Israel. revsoc21.uk/2025/08/06/u...
