Happy to be working alongside our senior team, discussing the need for proper funding within the sector with local MP’s.
Thanks to @MeldrumP for representing the committee. #NewDealforFE #respectFE

Shocked and stunned by the loss of fellow regional member and comrade @AgnesFlues.
Chesterfields committee send their condolences to everyone who was close to her - a devastating loss x

It’s #HeartUnionsWeek and our #UCU committee have been working hard to promote the benefits of trade union membership whatever your sector.
#StrongerTogether

[Chesterfield UCU @ChesterfieldUCU]

If you work at #ChesterfieldCollege come and see us in the Heartspace on Thursday of #HeartUnionsWeek and find out about the work we’re doing to support members and why union membership is so important for us all.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

Today is #HeartUnions week!

During this week we want to do 2 things:

1. Demonstrate how brilliant unions are by showcasing all that we achieve for working people – especially during the cost-of-living crisis.

2. Encourage as many people as possible to join a union.

Get involved!

@MegaphoneUK is running #HeartUnions week, the perfect opportunity to spread the word. Come and talk to us in the Heartspace about how we’re helping to support our members at Chesterfield College.
ALL staff are welcome, whatever their role ❤️

disappointed that @RavensbourneUK are refusing to recognise #RavensbourneUCU.

As a design graduate of the 1980’s, I was proud of my #BromleyBauhaus roots, but not any more.

It seems their mistrust comes from a position of fear, but
what are they frightened of? #workwithUCU

[Unite the union: join a union @unitetheunion]

“I think it's very important that all trade unions stand together and say no to the minimum service levels legislation because it's an act that's only meant to reduce our rights to take strike action
that is perfectly legal and right.”

#RightToStrike

[GMB Union @GMB_union]

Fantastic day in Cheltenham today - thank you to everyone who joined us to defend the #RightToStrike

#CheltenhamDemo

[Chesterfield UCU @ChesterfieldUCU]

Chesterfield UCU was honoured to march alongside Chesterfield TUC & others at the Protect the right to strike rally in Cheltenham today

The rally marks 40 years since GCHQ workers had their right to be union members removed by the Thatcher government

@Sam_Marsh101 @sheffielducu Thanks Sam - we really would appreciate that! Joe will catch up with you about how best to do this.

[Chesterfield UCU @ChesterfieldUCU]

Hugely disappointed that our members did not vote in sufficient numbers for strike action.

The #respectFE campaign is about far more than money & we’re at a loss to know how to reach our members.

Massive respect & solidarity to all branches that voted to strike ✊

[UCU @ucu]

A message of congratulations and solidarity from @BarryGardiner MP to our further education members that have voted for strike action in defence of fair pay

Let's hope employers are paying attention ✊

#RespectFE

[Chesterfield UCU @ChesterfieldUCU]

@DurkinKieran We can relate wholeheartedly.
With you in spirit! ✊

[Chesterfield UCU @ChesterfieldUCU]

Solidarity with everyone at York College this morning ✊

[York College UCU @YorkCollegeUCU]

Great turnout this morning on the picket line! For many staff, today was the first time they’d taken action and stood shoulder to shoulder with their colleagues.

Same again Friday? It’s up to the employer #RespectFE

[Maxine Looby UCU Immediate Past President @Maxine4UCUVP]

@ucu @DrJoGrady @RMTunion @paulwfleming Heating OR eating should NOT be choices

@Valeria_Watt We are definatily going to take a leaf out of Geoff’s book #DogsRespectFE!

[Chesterfield UCU @ChesterfieldUCU]

Our colleagues at @YorkCollegeUCU will be taking strike action on Monday 11th and Friday 15th September in their dispute over pay, casualisation/the use of zero hours contracts and workload.
Please support them any way you can ✊✊✊

[York College UCU @YorkCollegeUCU]

Can’t make it to the picket line on Monday? The good people at @strike_map have added our action to their map. You can write a message of support, or send a solidarity email to us.

We’ll read them out on the picket lines next week! #RespectFE
