🚨IA notice served We will begin continuous strike action from 2 September if UCU doesn't get serious about negotiating & resolving our dispute by the end of this month. If they don’t, then we have no choice but to bring about a settlement from the picket line. #ReclaimUCU

Least fascist agitator on Elon’s website (In all seriousness report this account. This is no way near the fucking worst of it)

Just heard that our friend and UCU indie comrade Agnes Flues has died. Utterly heartbreaking and a massive loss of a really principled and great person who cared hugely about doing the right thing. Just devastated for her partner and family. Rest in power Agnes Flues 💔 UCU

When a trade union rep raises concerns with their trade union employer on behalf of Black staff during a dispute over toxic workplace culture & institutional racism, they probably didn't expect they'd then have to take legal advice on the grounds of Trade Union Victimisation.

This evening, our committee sent this letter to Frances Corner & Goldsmiths, University of London SMT, on behalf of our membership. Goldsmiths is constructed of world renowned depts, upheld by dedicated and innovative academics - 90 of which will receive redundancy letters on Monday.

Our dispute remains unresolved and indefinite strike action is still due to begin on 2 September. Our members care deeply about their jobs and none of us want any UCU member to be in a position where they’re left especially vulnerable to callous employers. #ReclaimUCU

The jobs of those remaining have been hard-won by the sheer resolve of members’ fight. The strength of our action-holding the line with the marking & assessment boycott, showing up for strike action and the looming indefinite strike-brought management to the negotiating table.

Our employer’s refusal to meet outside ACAS means the remaining option for further talks is two days after the planned start of our indefinite strike action. It clearly wouldn’t be fair to ask our members to walk out just before an opportunity to reach a resolution. #ReclaimUCU

In Ireland, PhD researchers from outside the EU face additional burdens, barriers and expenses. One of our key demands is visa system reform for non-EU researchers. Below we have collected the experiences of some of our members to highlight the urgent need for change 👇

A huge thank you to all the UCU branches and members who have been in touch to send solidarity. Our dispute is about the need for a safe, supportive and anti-racist workplace. These are ideals we hope every trade unionist can support. #ReclaimUCU

Maybe the leadership of TSSA should put their time into resolving the dispute with their staff GMB 4tssa instead of beefing with another union on a dying social media app for 2 likes

Solidarity and power to you, Nigel, our co-vice chair and comrade. Everyone in the branch sends love and strength for your treatment and recovery. #MOT
