The theme of International Women's Day 2026 is Give To Gain. When people, organisations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it's intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.

It’s time for a change. Let’s end the #DisabilityPayGap

UCU Equality @ucuequality.bsky.social · 12/11/2025
Every year, Disabled workers earn £4,081 less than everyone else. In 2025, Disabled workers earn £78.40 less a week than non-disabled workers. The gap is more than the average house spends on food a week - £64.30. Disabled women get paid £3.80 an hour less than non-disabled men.

Would you work a day without pay?  How about 49? That’s how many days Disabled People will work without pay this year.

Job insecurity, discrimination, unsafe working conditions, and unmanageable workloads are all barriers to good mental health. Take time out for yourself! Look after your mental health

NEW BLOG POST: explaining the UK–France “one in, one out” treaty - which lets the UK return small boat arrivals to France, while taking in the same number who didn’t cross👇 It's branded a “safe route" but in reality it will force people into even more dangerous journeys, putting more lives at risk.

1 in 4 adults is likely to experience a mental health condition and/or issue. These can affect any of us directly or indirectly. Having someone to talk to can make all the difference.

Branches, through negotiations with the employer, can help shape the organisational culture from one where mental health is not discussed negatively, but instead with care and compassion.

Increased work pressures, such as excessive workloads, fear of redundancies, and working within an environment where bullying is endemic, will most certainly impact members' mental health.
