[Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary @AndreaEganGS]

I was proud to march with hundreds of thousands in London today for Palestine and against the far-right.

In the labour movement, we know an injury to one is an injury to all. And we reject the racist logic that says some lives are worth more than others ✊🇵🇸

This year the UK has fallen in the rankings for LGBT+ equality on the Rainbow map. 

We must do more to make workplaces more inclusive and highlight LGBT+ equality https://t.co/JBaOkepKBB

King’s have confirmed there will be regular consultation with UNISON and all recognised unions and KCL UNISON remains committed to defending jobs, pay and conditions for our members.

This morning it was announced that a memorandum of understanding has been signed between King’s and Cranfield University to explore a potential merger.

KCL UNISON has stressed the importance of protecting jobs, contractual terms and having a clear transparent timeline for staff.

[KCL UNISON @KCLUnison]

KCL UNISON are also concerned that King’s would be taking on a financial risk with this decision that could negatively affect our members.

Full solidarity with @KCLUnison as they strike for fair pay and better working conditions. Without UNSION colleagues, the university is just an empty building.

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

Great first day of action for KCL university staff fighting for fair pay ✊

They will be out again today, along with other UK university staff. There needs to be an improvement to the national pay offer of just 1.4% after years of below-inflation pay offers.

Please support! 💜

[KCL UNISON @KCLUnison]

The sun has turned out, and so have loads of our members!
Beautiful sights outside King’s Building, Strand Campus right now 🪧☀️

Back on the picket lines from 5am today!
Our members aren’t going anywhere!

[KCL UNISON @KCLUnison]

Wow! What a first day of action this is turning out to be. Thank you to everyone who came to a picket line today and to everyone who is taking strike action! Together we have power to demand the pay we deserve 💪
Ready to go again tomorrow? 👀🪧

[KCL UNISON @KCLUnison]

A message from our General Secretary 💜
KCL UNISON members turned out in huge numbers to vote against the insulting 1.4% pay offer, which is a real-terms pay cut to staff.
We deserve better! And we’re fighting for it! ✊

[LSBU UNISON @LSBUNISON]

Solidarity with our @UNISONinHE at @KCLUnison
and @SOASUNISON as they take to the picket lines today

[UNISON in Higher Education @UNISONinHE]

This week, professional service staff at several unis across the UK are on strike due to the insulting pay cut received in the 2025/26 pay offer. Every year uni staff face pay cuts - they deserve better. Solidarity with all those taking action today.✊ #fundourfuture #fundourpay

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

Solidarity with staff at UK universities on strike over yet another (well) below-inflation offer ✊

After years of real-terms pay cuts, another pay cut is an insult. University staff deserve better.

Drop into a picket line, or send a message of support! @UNISONinHE

[KCL UNISON @KCLUnison]

Vibes at the picket lines this morning ✊
We demand fair pay for professional services staff at King’s!
