Calling for solidarity across UCU branches. We are fighting against cuts, casualisation and marketised education!
Joined June 2020
For more reasons to vote YES, hear from branches fighting against redundancies. Branches fighting job losses one by one can stave of cuts for a short while. They need solidarity. But we need the whole union to stand up. Watch this video from the rally: https://t.co/e9t9beUE0L

Post it back to the Election Scrutineer, Civica. They count the ballots independently, on behalf of @UCU. Remember #WeAreTheUniversity. It is time to vote to stand up for our sector.

The governmentโs post-16 white paper is a massive missed opportunity. Instead of fixing a broken funding model, ministers are doubling down on tuition fees and attacking international students. Weโre balloting because staff and students deserve better fair pay, secure jobs, and

๐จ โThe crisis in FE is clear.โ Thank you to @KimJohnsonMP for standing with college staff. Poor pay is driving people out of the sector itโs time for real investment and a #NewDealForFE. Vote early, vote YES. โ
๐จ The crisis in FE is clear ๐จ Poor pay is driving staff out of the sector & colleges urgently need substantial investment. A joined-up skills and workforce strategy is long overdue - just as @ucu members head to the ballot for a #NewDealforFE ๐ฌ

Big up our friends in Leicester! Standing strong against management incompetence and short-sightedness. Redundancies are unnecessary and just fiddling while Rome burns - we need fundamental change in the funding system! All power to @leicesterucu โ
Staff and students came together early on a Friday morning to show their support before negotiations. The negotiations did not lift the threat of compulsory redundancies, so we'll be on strike again in theย comingย week.

The GGE showcase made us ask ourselves what the loss of GGE and its many connections in the University will mean for the ecosystem and sustainability agenda at the University.
