🚨 Strike Update 🚨 @UniteTheUnion has served British Engines 5 weeks notice for strike action between 27th June and 1st August. After failing to come forward with an acceptable deal, our members have no choice but to increase industrial action. #UniteNEYH #JobsPayCondition

UCU members at ETC overwhelmingly declare no confidence in the CEO at Education Training Collective. It's time for some leadership to be shown and for management to finally step forward and work with us in bringing an end to this dispute.

We remain committed to negotiations. The question is. Are the Governors?

This result is a huge win for trade unionists. Labour must now seize the moment and meaningfully shift the balance of power towards working people. Anything less would leave the party open to accusations of being Tories in red clothing. ucu.org.uk/article/13651/…

Famous education figures from the past 14 years faced the electorate with mixed results for the Conservatives. Here's your Schools Week and FE Week guide to who's in and who's out after yesterday's general election.

🚨Breaking: Bridget Phillipson has been confirmed as the secretary of state for education feweek.co.uk/who-is-bridget…

With broken hearts we announce the passing of Jane McAlevey Jane McAlevey: founder, lead trainer, heart & soul of our global training program. You will be so missed. And may this elegy serve as a commitment: that your legacy serve as the building blocks for our victories to come.

Three years ago, I attended training sessions led by Jane McAlevey. She had good ideas, lots of practical examples, and experiences that were very worthwhile learning about. Jane leaves us, having inspired thousands. Her legacy will be to inspire many more.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 One of Glasgow’s most prominent bar owners has *sacked * the chair of Unite Hospitality Glasgow days after he asked for time-off for STUC & Unite the union: join a union youth conferences. No warning, disciplinary or representative. This is trade union victimisation pure & simple.

Our branches have spoken - UCEA's offer is unsatisfactory. We have voted to reject the current offer and trigger dispute resolution meetings. The fight for pay, workload, casualisation and equality continues. ucu.org.uk/article/13656/…

The Labour Government believes in working in partnership with our higher and further education workforce. Great to talk to Jo Grady of @UCU about common concerns and the challenges we will face together.

🚨 New strike dates announced at Goldsmiths 🚨 97 staff still remain at risk as part of brutal programme of cuts 👊 Our Goldsmiths UCU members refuse to standby while management threaten to turn the university into an academic wasteland 👇 ucu.org.uk/article/13660/…

Stopped off at the GMB Union picket outside G4S offices in Newcastle on Monday. Striking for fair pay and a proper pay rise. They're out all this week and then one week on one week off. Go down and support if you can!

“We have no plans in that space [to increase fees or funding] because we want to make sure we are putting universities on a more sustainable footing overall" Not good enough, esp. given what's happening with job cuts at Sunderland just next door to BP. researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-pol…

I’m recruiting the key role of Office Manager to lead my staff team. The role is FT, based in Sunderland, paying £38-52k depending on experience. Experience working for an MP/in politics is NOT required. w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.asp… What am I looking for? 🧵
