Multiple Vice Chancellors on the plane to India with Keir Starmer selling the appeal of UK Universities. The same Universities where they are trying to make thousands of staff redundancies, insecure employment is rife and they have offered UCU members a 1.4% pay deal.

Struggling on 1.4 per cent? We know many members are! Always look at your University financial reports! What’s your VC taking home? UCU UCU London Regional Office if we are in it together then VCs should be taking home no more than us!

Ballot papers are dropping through your letterboxes this week. You know it’s simple! If you stand still and alone you continue to be the unheard, overworked and underpaid. Use your vote to say 1.4 per cent disrespects us and our profession and we deserve to be valued UCU #uwl
