🚨 KEY BALLOT ALERT: Thousands more UNISON members can now take strike action at universities across the UK.
With a further 13 branches smashing the threshold for action, we are fighting together for better pay in HE.
Here are the successful branches:
@UNISONinHE You've secured nothing in the ACAS negotiations but are still halting the strike so that we need another mandate for any further action. Complete madness.
We've given notice for a further three days of strike action, demanding decent pay with a wage rise that keeps up with inflation. On 24th, 25th and 30th November, we'll be striking alongside UCU and other UNISON higher education workers. Solidarity!
10 days until our strike. Talk to your colleagues about the strikes. If they're not a UCU member, recommend they join. If they're a member, recommend they sign up for picket duty - picketing is essential for the dispute and it's the best way to feel part of the action! #UCURising
Congratulations to UCU members and activists for smashing the anti-trade union laws and achieving a solid mandate for strike action over pay, working conditions and pension rights. We need pay justice now and we're organised to campaign alongside UCU until we get it.
Thanks to all our members for supporting three days of strike action. The weather could have been better, but we're determined to campaign for a better deal after all we've been offered is a massive real-terms pay cut. Solidarity with all working people fighting for more!
Today, we're giving notice of three days of strike action over pay - 13th, 14th and 17th October. We're facing massive real-terms cuts to our income, so we can't accept another year of working harder for less. Solidarity with all UNISON members fighting back!
Solidarity with all those taking strike action over pay, today and over the summer. Our 2022-23 pay ballot resulted in a 82% YES vote on a 61% turnout - a magnificent result, which represents the strength of feeling that we can't accept massive pay cuts.
@NaomiSchiff I love your coverage - I really missed your F1 insight for the previous couple of races so it's great to see you back! Ignore the idiots obv. x
