Have you posted that ballot yet? Many will have them hidden on their desk under piles of marking, or somewhere in the bottom of their bag... Please vote - the leadership of UCU really matters! 🙏 If you believe branches by themselves can't solve this crisis - we need national unity. Vote left!

Packed workshop - "Building unity: how can unions be better?" Since 2008 real term pay has dropped, yet productivity has increases. The rich are getting, richer and we're getting poorer. Reform UK can grow in these conditions. TUs need to take on these arguments @togetheralliance.bsky.social

Agnes Peters, UNISON member leading campaign for Migrant Fair Visas was incredibly powerful. Trade unions need to work together to protect migrant rights - division and oppression only benefits the bosses. We must stand together - fair visas for all! @unison.org.uk @togetheralliance.bsky.social

Sharon Graham, UNITE GS - on absolute 🔥 Clearly laying out how Reform UK have been able to grow - workers have been made to pay time and time again. Labour have failed to turn this around. A wealth tax needs to be introduced now. @togetheralliance.bsky.social @unitetheunion.bsky.social

Workers against the far right organising conference is about to start. Incredibly important event to build the fight back against the rise of Reform UK - they are preying on those disillusioned and left behind. Trade unions need to fight for all, to counter the far right

We need lots of trade unionists to attend this Saturday's training and organising event - to help build that campaign. Great to see Chantelle Lunt, UCU member at LJMU will be speaking!

Here is the intro to my VP hustings speech - solidarity to all on strike and in dispute! We need a leadership who will support all branches and ensure members have the backing of the national union. The crisis facing post-16 education is a national issue, needing a national strategy.

Good community demonstration today, opposing the far right. 49 years ago - the 'Battle of Wood Green' saw anti-fascists beat back the National Front. We need to stop the rise of racism and fascism again. Next stop - 28th March Together Alliance demo!

Great to have endorsements from my branch - Alyson & Carly have taught me so much, as the previous branch sec's at my college. A branch sec is nothing without an active membership - management will never listen to your wise words in negotiations, without knowing you have members behind you.

UCU CCC members are prepped for the Together demo on the 28th. Reform UK and their fascist mates are a threat to our communities, to education, and to everything we hold dear. They must be stopped. We can and need a bigger anti-racist movement. Love, hope and unity ❤️ #TogetherAlliance #UCU

If you can - please get down to one of the demo's in support of Londo Met. It has a long and proud tradition of providing higher education opportunities to working class communities. 120 jobs are threatened- which is shameful and must resisted. Please show your solidarity @c-paine68.bsky.social

I'm running to be UCU VP from FE - as educationalists, as well as trade unionists, we are standing to defend education. We need national strategies to defend jobs, improve pay, reduce workloads and end casualisation. Very happy to be supporting Sean Wallis for VP HE @seanawallis.bsky.social

100,000 people out on the streets of London in solidarity with Palestine. This is the largest anti-war movement - we will not stop until Palestine is free and the UK Govt ends its complicity and stops repressing free speech. Good to see another large TU bloc yesterday.

Over 70,000 Palestinians have been killed since 2023, with nearly 500 since the ceasefire. The UK Government is complicit in this genocide and have continually tried to silence those who stand in solidarity with Palestine. The mass movement needs to continue & trade unions need to be central to this

London Met is once again under attack - 120 jobs are under threat and shows the increasing moves to reduce educational opportunities for the working class. Please send messages of support.
