Have you posted that ballot yet? Many will have them hidden on their desk under piles of marking, or somewhere in the bottom of their bag... Please vote - the leadership of UCU really matters! 🙏 If you believe branches by themselves can't solve this crisis - we need national unity. Vote left!

Reform mayor of Lincolnshire has voted to slash ESOL. A clear signal of the damage Reform intends to inflict on our communities. Demanding migrants speak English then cutting the very provision that makes that possible.

Packed workshop - "Building unity: how can unions be better?" Since 2008 real term pay has dropped, yet productivity has increases. The rich are getting, richer and we're getting poorer. Reform UK can grow in these conditions. TUs need to take on these arguments

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?

Higher Education in the UK faces a clear and present danger from the 'Reform' project. The US under Trump makes clear what is at stake, from ICE to anti-science. If we care about our disciplines, our colleagues and our students, we need to organise.

Great to have endorsements from my branch - Alyson & Carly have taught me so much, as the previous branch sec's at my college. A branch sec is nothing without an active membership - management will never listen to your wise words in negotiations, without knowing you have members behind you.

100,000 people out on the streets of London in solidarity with Palestine. This is the largest anti-war movement - we will not stop until Palestine is free and the UK Govt ends its complicity and stops repressing free speech. Good to see another large TU bloc yesterday.

Over 70,000 Palestinians have been killed since 2023, with nearly 500 since the ceasefire. The UK Government is complicit in this genocide and have continually tried to silence those who stand in solidarity with Palestine. The mass movement needs to continue & trade unions need to be central to this

Blocking an international education delegation from entering Palestine, including our general secretary Jo Grady, is an attack on education and international solidarity. UCU stands with Palestinian educators, students and their unions and with the Palestinian people.
