There's plenty wrong with UCU right now. This hearing should shed some light...

Enough of this appalling situation. #HandsOffMarie

It's time the members of our Union made their voices heard and put a stop to this. Solidarity with Marie and @uniteucu.bsky.social

Please read this important post by @lucyburkemcr.bsky.social . I, like Lucy, will not be silenced. #UCU is better than this. As a union representing workers in post 16 education UCU has a great responsibility to behave democratically transparently and ethically. 1/2

It's beyond disgusting that #UCU has threatened members of #Unite UCU, in effect union busting.

Members of UCU have no good reason to trust its elections. Read why here ⬇️ and maybe attend the Certification Officer hearing on the 10th. Hearings are held online anyone can attend. I hope the press will be there.

The very least the @TUC could do.

This cannot continue. It brings UCU into disrepute. Solidarity with @uniteucu.bsky.social #ReclaimUCU now

This is beyond appalling. A union engaging in union-busting. All TUs should be calling on UCU to cease and desist, and settle with @uniteucu.bsky.social for the sake of the movement @tuc.org.uk @yourparty.bsky.social #rReclaimUCU

Abortion is a trade union issue
Why is abortion legislation in the news? Abortion is legal in the UK – right? Technically, for much of the UK, the answer to this question is “no”, despite widespread assumptions that the Abortion …

Deeply ashamed of my union behaving like the bosses we fight. Imposition, victimisation and union-busting needs to stop right now @ucu.org.uk. Solidarity with UCU Unite staff ✊

If you are a #UCU2025 delegate attending on behalf of @UCU members you really owe it them to educate yourself and the membership about what ails our union. It isn't the hardworking staff. Please be there

For UCU Congress delegates please consider supporting this motion. Please remember there will be survivors in the Congress hall and to be sensitive. It's not a lot to ask and I shouldn't have to ask but past experience tells me I need to.

This dispute can easily be resolved. @ucu.org.uk should be an exemplary employer, not this. Members expect better

Of course she has won. Of course they were wrong. And at a time when other Scottish Universities were calling for an immediate ceasefire. They could have just picked up the phone to their colleagues. This is not hard. And then there is international law too. They put a brave woman through hell.

Dundee University's governance failure is indeed a shocker. Seconding ⬇️ #reclaimucu

Glad @timeshighered.bsky.social is covering @uniteucu.bsky.social's dispute with @ucu.org.uk -resolution is beyond urgent (has been for over a year). But the content & tone of the UCU's anon quoted spokesperson feels emblematic of the underlying issues... www.timeshighereducation.com/news/ucu-mem...

Alongside @ucu.org.uk national executive committee members I won't attend UCU NEC tomorrow. Calling on @drjogrady.bsky.social & UCU's SMT to end the dispute with workers. Not crossing a picket line is a hard line for me: key tenet of trade unionism. reclaimucu.wordpress.com/2025/04/30/s...

I won't be at UCU NEC on Friday unless @drjogrady.bsky.social and UCU's SMT resolve the dispute with workers. Not crossing a picket line is a principle of trade unionism as is accountability to members. Sad but proud to contribute to and sign this statement reclaimucu.wordpress.com/2025/04/30/s...

Hands up who thinks trade unions should be model employers? ✋🏽 ✋🏾 ✋🏻 ✋🏿 ✋🏼 #ThriveNotSurvive
Question....

Which employer has lost the following number of days to work-related stress and mental ill-health absences:
• 2022: 123.5
• 2023: 468
• 2024: 912.5 ?

Clue 1: They were sanctioned by the HSE for a failure to address stress in 2023.

Clue 2: They still can't demonstrate compliance with statutory minimum safety legislation in 2025.

.. Asking for a friend

In the 20 years that I have been a member of @ucu.org.uk never have I know such a lamentable state of affairs. I won't be crossing any picket lines. Calling on the SMT of UCU to work to resolve the dispute. reclaimucu.wordpress.com/2025/04/30/s....
