Solidarity and strength to our @UCU colleagues at ETC group for successful outcome - Staff at North East college group renew strike mandate with yes vote ucu.org.uk/article/13544/…

What an in incredible win 👏

UCU members at Myerscough only won recognition at the college last year, making this year the first time it has had to bargain with the union. The resulting pay deal is the best staff have seen in years, truly showing the power of our union.

Staff at five colleges in Cleveland, Redcar and Stockton-on-Tees vote YES to strike action 📢

Education Training Collective (ETC) have over £6 million in the bank but have only offered a paltry 3% increase to UCU members.

A stalwart of the movement and our union. Deeply saddened to learn of his passing, and our thoughts with all Jim’s loved ones.

She’s 40 🎂

In the latest Private Eye:

✅A £50m 'sustainability & social justice' campus
✅A £30m loan for 'low-carbon' buildings
✅A £24k Greta Thunburg statue

But every University of Winchester staff member in the institute for climate & social justice is now at risk of redundancy.

Shameful.

Full support for these courageous civil servants.The Rome Statute covering war crimes is clear that following a superior’s instructions is not a defence when it comes to charges of war crimes. The government must come clean on the legal advice it has. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

There are growing concerns in a number of sectors that their UK institutions are not implicated in any way, including funding & research, in the Israeli government’s war crimes in Gaza. This important letter by UCU evidences the concern sweeping across UK civil society.

Let us also not forget that the #USS action of @UCU members also saved University of Surrey over £12million in the last reported accounting year (pg 16): surrey.ac.uk/sites/default/…

Yet still staff have been the target🎯in what the insitution is calling a budgetary 'deficit' @UCUSurrey.

UCU has beaten redundancies elsewhere, and we will defeat them at Portsmouth too.

Solidarity with our amazing branch, the whole union is behind you and we will be backing any ballot you call.

Some people seem confused about what our historic pensions win has to do with strike action 🧵

The Israeli army developed mass surveillance software for tracking Gazan targets on an AI-generated kill list. During Oct-Dec it is claimed Israeli military officials permitted large numbers of Palestinian civilians could be killed.
