Today we are sending #solidarity to Unite UCU (the Union for UCU staff) who are on strike in support of achieving a resolution to their dispute. @UCU workers deserve a decent workplace. For those who wish to donate: unite-ucu-strike-fund.raiselysite.com

🚨New strike dates🚨 With no tangible movement in our dispute, we have notified the employer that we intend to take 5 more days of strike action & to begin ASOS. ACAS talks continue but the resolutions we need are not being met by the employer. #InvestigationNow #ReclaimUCU

Happening in #Birmingham this coming Saturday, 15th June 2024. 📍Meet at Aston Uni Students Union for an 11AM start #RideForPalestine #RideForGaza #EndTheGenocide #CeasefireNOW

Today this UCU branch has issued a joint statement with Unison University of Birmingham Branch in response to yesterday morning’s ‘Message from the VC’ issued to UoB Staff. This Branch supports the right of any Student to protest peacefully. UCU Birmingham Trades Union Council Bham Liberated birminghamucu.org/2024/06/12/joi…

Response to Uni of Birmingham decision to take the student Encampment to court "Our position: students are standing up in a reasonable, thoughtful, humane & courageous action to ask the university community, the region and the world to notice & prevent an appalling human tragedy."

We stand students protesting Israel's war crimes. We must have a ceasefire now 🇵🇸

Our students in the encampment need to raise at least £5k to legally defend themselves against accusations made by the University. Please, if you are able, donate to their fund ⬇️ #solidarity UCU Birmingham Trades Union Council Unison University of Birmingham Branch Rhiannon Lockley (she/her) #JoinAUnion Bham Liberated chuffed.org/project/111052…

We were pleased to host Sue Agazie last week at our UCU members' meeting for the #WeAreAllSue campaign Sue is a Black, disabled migrant PhD student & mother at Newcastle University - her treatment by Newcastle University is shocking. Support the campaign! tiny.cc/WeAreAllSue

During ACAS talks today, attended by UCU's General Secretary & President, yet again no tangible offer was made that could move us to ending our dispute. Of much greater concern is a risk of escalation after the employer suggested pausing our recognition agreement. #ReclaimUCU

As Junior Doctors in England start their 11th round of industrial action for #PayRestoration we are sending #solidarity vibes. If you are near WMJuniorDoctors picket lines in the next 6 days go show them some support #EnoughIsEnough UCU Birmingham Trades Union Council Rhiannon Lockley (she/her) #JoinAUnion Unison University of Birmingham Branch

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/…

Yesterday our branch voted to give our employer until 1 September to resolve our dispute or we significantly escalate industrial action. ASOS continues but we have suspended the action planned for this week given management are happy to sit out one-off strike days. #ReclaimUCU

63 Days After 63 days, the Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN served eviction notices on students protestors camped on the Jubilee Campus. As the bulk of the camp was packed up, a small group of students are hanging on until the bailiffs arrive. 1/3

A truly dignified packing up of the camp. With beautiful speeches by the students as to why Divest is important, and why the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza just must stop. Nottingham Camp for the Liberation of Palestine

L: an email from the principal claiming Queen Mary University of London enables students voice “through established mechanisms” (I.e.: as long as they don’t object to anything management says) R: BAILEY CALLED THE BAILIFFS on the day said established mechanism would vote on supporting the encampment
