University & College Union at Ulster University. Working for our members' conditions and pensions & campaigning against the marketisation of education

This policy won't even fill the financial chasm faced by HEIs Higher Education will still be faced with mass cuts to the student experience & the period of managed decline will continue Voting Yes in the @ucu ballot is the only way to save this sector! #wearetheuniversity
Once again, higher education policy without assessment Fees will soon rise with inflation, potentially hitting £10,000. All while staff and universities struggle. This is why we ballot. Vote YES for change.

Amazing to see the votes pouring in! Vote yes.
Voting YES because my employer cut 500+ jobs in 15 months and then styled itself the 'University of No Regrets'. My vote is also in solidarity with colleagues at other @UCU branches who have faced punitive deductions, mismanagement and misconduct from bosses. #WeAreTheUniversity

Overcrowded lectures. Growing admin. Unpredictable numbers. On LBC last night, Jo Grady spoke about how higher education workloads are becoming inherently stressful. This ballot is our chance to say: enough. Vote YES for manageable workloads and fair pay. #WeAreTheUniversity

@unisontheunion has had to abandon its annual conference at The Waterfront Belfast due to political vetting by the management. This is the graphic that has been vetted, it is UNISON policy. It reflects the position of the United Nations and the International Court of Justice

Sophia, our member from Edinburgh, speaks for so many of us: “Consultants are being paid huge sums to drive cuts that tear apart the heart of what universities stand for.” This is why we’re balloting. It’s time to stand together. #WeAreTheUniversity

Another bright red postbox - we love to see it! ❤️ Vote. Tell us you’ve voted. Tell a colleague to vote. #WeAreTheUniversity
I voted as soon as my ballot paper arrived in the @ucu national ballot. I voted YES and so should all our members if the HE sector is not to be hollowed out. So get your vote into that letter box! #UCU
