Our members have voted to support industrial action to fight against job cuts passed today!

In the ballot our 72% of members were in favour of strike action, and 90% in favour of action short of strike. Turnout was 58%.

Thank you to all members, reps and officials for helping us get the vote out.

Micro management. Coming to a university near you soon... @ulsteruni.bsky.social

Disastrous. Our @ucu.org.uk members in prison education do amazing work. What even is this government doing.

Thanks to all who came out in today to support the protests for Palestine

Following this week's UN declaration that Israel's actions in Palestine are a genocide, we urge @ulsteruni.bsky.social to use it's institutional influence and join with student & staff voices to oppose the genocide

Our reps along with comrades from @ucuatqub.bsky.social had a productive meeting today with Minister @caoimhearchibald.bsky.social around sustainable and fair funding for HE in the North

Many thanks to the minister for taking the time to meet with @ucu.org.uk reps

Today - along with colleagues from Ulster University UCU and regional @ucu.org.uk representatives - we had a productive meeting with @caoimhearchibald.bsky.social, the Minister for the Economy in the Executive, about a sustainable and accountable Higher Education sector for Northern Ireland.

Strike action is ON!!!

Next week will be the first of 4 weeks of striking from our members as we continue to say NO to the compulsory redundancies forced on us by the university for their poor financial choices.

#StopTheCuts #SaveHE

Our collective voice as a movement is @tuc.org.uk, representing millions of working people.

Brilliant to have GS @paulnowaktuc.bsky.social backing UCU members ✊

The whole movement is behind us.

#WeAreTheUniversity

Joint statement from @ucu.org.uk , @unitetheunion.bsky.social , @unison.org.uk, @gmb.org.uk & @eisunion on @ucea-leadership.bsky.social 's insulting pay offer

All staff in HE have had enough of attacks on Pay, Jobs + Terms & Conditions in HE and will be balloting together for Industrial Action.

No staff consultation

No student consultation

Yet the @officestudents "welcomes" this move..... 🧐🤔

Paul Nowak, @tuc.org.uk General Secretary, stands with UCU members.

In October we ballot over pay, agreements, and jobs.

Vote YES.
