Solidarity. Congress clearly wanted this settled and was sympathetic to UNITE’s demands. And to allow recall HE sector Congress lost to a Unite strike day. Failure to resolve the dispute leaves a big gap in policy-making and accountability.
During ACAS talks today, attended by UCU's General Secretary & President, yet again no tangible offer was made that could move us to ending our dispute. Of much greater concern is a risk of escalation after the employer suggested pausing our recognition agreement. #ReclaimUCU

Solidarity from Newcastle. Very similar here. We need to have our students’ backs.
Today this UCU branch has issued a joint statement with @BhamUniUnison in response to yesterday morning’s ‘Message from the VC’ issued to UoB Staff. This Branch supports the right of any Student to protest peacefully. @ucu @TUCBham @BhamLiberated

Solidarity from Newcastle University UCU. Invite a Unite UCU speaker to your branch too.
Huge thanks to all #UCU2024 Congress delegates, branches, members, & countless others who’ve sent messages of solidarity & support for our dispute & strike action yesterday. It means so much.❤️We really hope our employer now respects the will of UCU & Unite members. #ReclaimUCU

Solidarity BMSC colleagues. Congress must discuss this and take serious action. This is a battle for the very soul of the union. There are two traditions within trade unionism and we should stand with a member-led anti-racism. Remember Grunwicks, remember Cable St.

Good statement. Remember the suffragettes, Chartists, MLK, Indian struggle for independence, etc all involved protest. The democracy we have today is based on it. @NclSolidarity
