Congress proceedings have been cancelled today due to strike action by Unite UCU members.

It's very disappointing that UCU has not settled this dispute and has allowed the business of our union to be impacted in this way.

Donate to the strike fund:

Today our branch sent a cash donation to the student organisers of the encampment at the University of Liverpool.

The institution must meet the demands of its students and divest from all companies who are complicit in perpetrating genocide in Gaza.

Bring your banners & your drums, your family & your friends and let us all, with one voice, cry out #CeasefireNow

We've started a list of universities where students have started Gaza solidarity encampments ✊🇵🇸

Warwick, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester, Sheffield, Swansea, Goldsmiths, UCL, & Edinburgh so far!

Get in touch if you want to add one or a report

Solidarity with all at CUNY pushing back against violent incursion. Incredible to watch footage from a number of universities, now, showing protestors' unyielding, brave commitment to keeping police out to ensure focus remains on demands for divestment + Palestinian liberation

The Rest Is Politics Rory Stewart ALASTAIR CAMPBELL Here’s the running list of all unis shutting down departments & laying off staff. Government & “the economy” need graduates. This destruction of a key (and one thriving) sector is going to be felt widely. Why do you think press & politicians remain silent?
