[UCU Marxists @ucumarxists]

It is disappointing to hear that the MAB has been concluded, especially after ruthless attacks from the employers.

Workers have shown we can shut down our workplaces and unite with students but the reason this did not go further lies in the betrayal of the General Secretary.

[UCU Marxists @ucumarxists]

We need a militant leadership to fight for the transformation of the sector; run and controlled by the workers. This is what the IMT stands for, if you agree then join us!

Help build the forces of communism on campuses across the country and kick capitalism out of education.

[UCU Marxists @ucumarxists]

We welcome the decision to discuss how the union should be fighting back against the contempt @UCEA1 have shown towards us. As our congress agreed, we think the way forward is to tackle the root cause of our dispute and kick capitalism out of higher education for good!

Today I have requested that we call an emergency HEC

Myself, the President, and VP meet tomorrow to determine the date and timescales that ensures branches and members can input

UCEA have demonstrated unparalleled intransigence. We must come together and determine next steps.

“Having passed at congress, we cannot not allow this motion to be buried by the union. Instead, rank-and-file UCU members should urgently take up the call for such a bold campaign on every campus.”

Really good report form UCU congress

[UCU Marxists @ucumarxists]

UCU Congress has set a clear vision for our union to kick capitalism out of HE! This is no small task and we need a mass mobilisation of the rank and file on every campus to launch this campaign with a fighting leadership at the head!

This is the way to stop the decline in pay and working conditions in HE and the devastation that cuts and marketisation have wrought on our sector permanently.

This campaign must also be a clarion call to the wider labour movement: its time to kick capitalism out!

Motion HE32 passed at HE conference this afternoon! ✊

Drafted by comrades of UCU Marxists and put forward by University of Sheffield branch, it commits the union to kicking capitalism out of Higher Education!🚩

[UCU Marxists @ucumarxists]

This means launching a campaign alongside sister trade unions and students to:

Reverse funding cuts✂️
Abolish tuitions fees ❌
Kick all private companies and interests off campus 🥾
And run universities democratically under staff-student control, for good and not for profit! 🚩

THREAD: This weekends Congress comes at a crucial time.

University bosses are carrying out a nationally coordinated attack in response to the MAB, with many members now facing 100% pay deductions. (1/6)

[UCU Marxists @ucumarxists]

Now more than ever, we need a fighting leadership that backs militant, coordinated strike action at a national level.

We need a leadership that is not afraid of empowering rank-and-file members to take on the bosses, with every means at our disposal.

This is how we win. (5/6)
