It’s day 1 of the strike at Rainchester Wetropolitan University!

Obviously being northern we’re made of sterner stuff so the drizzle won’t put us off in our fight for fair pay!

Universities could not function without dedicated support staff. This year, staff have been offered only a 1.4% pay rise. With a cost of living crisis and the higher education sector in crisis, this is not good enough. Join UNISON today and vote to REJECT this offer. #fundourfuture #fundourpay
If you work in Higher Education and aren't yet a UNISON member, join by Tuesday 24 June to be able to get involved in our 2025/26 pay consultation. It couldn't be easier, just visit join.unison.org.uk @UNISONinHE

Yesterday afternoon, members from across the country came to Parliament to lobby their local MP over the higher education funding crisis. Thank you to all who attended.

UNISON is calling for urgent action to defend jobs, save universities and deliver free education. #highereducation #fundourfuture

Alfie popped by to see us yesterday. They pointed out that we already have 237 colleagues who have already left the University of Dundee.

We were told we need to lose 632 jobs top of this!

869 colleagues will be lost and this is just phase 1!

It's Race Equality Week, but not at City St George's University.

Cleaning staff are predominantly People of Colour but the university chooses to outsource them, resulting in worse pay and terms & conditions.

This institutionally racist practice must end and cleaning staff brought in house.
Race Equality Week 
Trade unions are at the forefront of campaigning for racial equality. Difference in pay is a daily reality for many Black workers.
