Last year, UCU and sister unions won a historic vote at TUC Congress: workers’ money should fund jobs, pay and public services not weapons and war.

This September, we’re going back to build on that victory and demand investment in education, manufacturing and a fairer, greener future.

We need support before Congress begins. Sign and share the petition. 🔗 https://t.co/6S8i7Nny9H

🚨NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST TO STOP THE FAR RIGHT

📢This Saturday, we’re calling for mass anti racist resistance in every town and city to push back the fascists

👉If there’s a far right demo in your area, call the counter. If not, call a protest to say they’re never welcome

[UCU London Region @LondonUCU]

Rock Against Racism was a key element in popularising the Anti Nazi League campaign which succeeded in smashing the nazi National Front.

600+ on a picket line.
Just asking for a decent wage
From one of the richest companies in the world.
Recognition so close.
And then we move to the next one.

National, not local, strategies are needed to win better pay and conditions

[Lucia Pradella @LuGuangMing]

Jo Grady has been re-elected @ucu General Secretary with a bit less than 35% of first preferences on a 15% turnout.

This means that about 5% of members gave her their first preferences.

In no way can this be sold as an endorsement of her strategy.

“Our self-organised Black members are not a vulnerability to be hidden, but a voice of truth to power: their labour and voice must be acknowledged in the union.”

[Cecilia Wee @ceciliawee]

We, members of @ucu @UCUequality Black Members Standing Committee, are disengaging from our activities with the union in response to systemic racism we+ our Black comrades @UniteUCU experienced in the union. As @timeshighered reported this week, the buck stops with @DrJoGrady 1/

[UCU Left @UcuLeft]

I found Saira helpful and supportive; her willingness to listen sets her apart from others. This approach will help members win fair pay, address equality issues and restore members' trust and confidence in UCU.

I’ve seen Saira during the pay and conditions dispute, she was very much in favour of union democracy and on members deciding the course of strike action and our Marking And Assessment Boycott.

[Regi Pilling @RegiPilling]

Great to have @RedSazzler support. UCU needs a GS that implements a strategy where FE branches are levelled up. This should be a national strike. Our branch is strong and we'll keep fighting - but we need a new GS. Vote 1 for @RedSazzler #saira4GenSec #UCULeft

[Regi Pilling @RegiPilling]

Very happy to be supporting Saira 4 UCU GS. She is a strong, principled fighter who will work the whole membership #Saira4GenSec #UCUleft #UCU #UCUTransformed

[UCU Left @UcuLeft]

Amazing to have @jeremycorbyn on the picket line at City & Islington College #RespectFE #Solidarity

What went wrong with the UCU Rising Campaign?
How the UCU reballot over pay and conditions missed the threshold
