"With 24 hours notice 5 Black faculty were marched into the uni to hear the MA Black Studies was closed with NO consultation and our jobs at risk, even though there is work in the department we could do' Hear the full story on new @makeitplainorg pod https://t.co/j9yM4JIPhX

This is an outrageous attack, and part of a wider piece of vandalism at BCU. UCU are stunned by how this process has been conducted, including failure to EIA, and oppose all proposed redundancies.

[Kehinde Andrews @kehinde_andrews]

SAVE #BlackStudiesBCU

@MyBCU has cut the MA Black Studies and Global Justice with NO notice or consultation AND targeted the 5 Black members of staff for potential risk of redundancy

We’ll keep fighting for inclusive spaces, supportive policies, and real solidarity.

Wow! Half a million on the streets of London. TU block one of our biggest. Unfortunately we were split up coming over Waterloo Bridge so could not do the traditional ‘family’ photo at the end. But here are a few of the block. Free Palestine @ucu @STWuk @CNDuk @PSCupdates

The immigration white paper is a direct attack on education and economic growth.

🚨Our megapicket has shut down the bin depot at Lifford Lane, Birmingham.

Trade unionists from across Britain have stood with the Birmingham bin workers - and shut down the scabbing operation at Lifford Lane. Solidarity can win.

[BCU UCU @bcu_ucu]

Our members joined people across the labour movement this morning in support of the @UniteWestMids Birmingham Bin Strikers. Birmingham Council must negotiate meaningfully and step back from their brutal attack on workers pay and conditions. Solidarity from the BCU UCU dispute!

[Unite the union: join a union @unitetheunion]

✊ ‘Proud to be a bin man. Proud to be a striking bin man. Proud of my striking brothers and sisters’. Too right Mike. When your employer tries to take up to 25% of your pay, what else are you going to do but strike back? 🪧
PLs RT & tell @BhamCityCouncil to stop attacking its own workers 📣

[Birmingham Trades Union Council @BirminghamTUC]

MEGAPICKET: Friday 9 May, 6AM, Lifford Lane

RESIST BRITAIN FIRST: Saturday 17 May, 11AM, New Street Station

We're back out on the picket line this morning, standing in solidarity with colleagues at risk of compulsory redundancy and demanding university management to change course. #SaveUEA
