With the new year comes a new strike mandate. We'll be moving to further strike action in February unless our employer agrees to emergency negotiations and makes meaningful moves to resolve our dispute. For more about our ongoing dispute see: uniteucu.wordpress.com/dispute-over... #ReclaimUCU

After our employer refused to pause their restructure until the agreed Organisational Review is complete, we produced a critique of their plans based on members’ feedback. This includes initial analysis of the impact on delivery of support for UCU members. drive.google.com/file/d/1QNf6...

With our Safe & Professional Workplace dispute still unresolved, reballot papers start arriving today. 🚀 So sad our trade union employer hasn’t yet accepted things need to change. Vote YES for strike action Vote YES for action short of a strike #BackTheBallot #ReclaimUCU

On the first day of December we don’t have a straightforward countdown to Christmas.🎄 In 3 days our reballot opens. 📮 In 8 days we take strike action. 🪧🪧🪧 Will any of our advent calendar doors open to reveal an employer seriously committed to resolving our dispute?

🚨 THREE DAY WALKOUT CALLED 🚨 Our members will take strike action from 9-11 December after our employer further breached our long-running dispute & failed to prioritise finding a resolution. We take action reluctantly & are sorry to impact @ucu.org.uk members: uniteucu.wordpress.com/2024/11/26/s...

🚨STRIKE ACTION🚨 After our employer refused to pause their restructure plans in order to first resolve our ongoing dispute over a Safe and Professional Workplace, members today voted overwhelmingly to call strike action as soon as possible. uniteucu.wordpress.com/motions/emer...

🚨Employer ignores dispute to rush restructure🚨 Instead of focusing on resolving our long-standing dispute over a racist, dysfunctional & toxic workplace, our employer yesterday announced a significant restructure that will impact nearly a quarter of staff, some significantly.

We have, again, had to make a complaint to the HSE due to serious failings in our employer's statutory safety duties, including breaching the stress risk assessment only put in place after the HSE’s previous contravention notice. Shockingly our employer has also all but shut down our safety forums.

Our employer has confirmed pay will remain frozen as they are “choosing” to not hold pay talks while we remain in dispute over our campaign for a safe & professional workplace. This decision breaches staff employment contracts. Astounding to find ourselves in a 2nd live dispute.

🚨Pay dispute declared🚨 Despite repeated requests UCU still refuses talks over the 24/25 pay claim we submitted in April. Why would a trade union employer refuse to negotiate on pay? Our pay year begins on 1 August so we’re now 3 months into an effective pay freeze.

Our employer’s refusal to meet outside ACAS means the remaining option for further talks is two days after the planned start of our indefinite strike action. It clearly wouldn’t be fair to ask our members to walk out just before an opportunity to reach a resolution. #ReclaimUCU

Our dispute remains unresolved and indefinite strike action is still due to begin on 2 September. Our members care deeply about their jobs and none of us want any UCU member to be in a position where they’re left especially vulnerable to callous employers. #ReclaimUCU

When a trade union rep raises concerns with their trade union employer on behalf of Black staff during a dispute over toxic workplace culture & institutional racism, they probably didn't expect they'd then have to take legal advice on the grounds of Trade Union Victimisation.

🚨 IA notice served We will begin continuous strike action from 2 September if UCU doesn't get serious about negotiating & resolving our dispute by the end of this month. If they don’t, then we have no choice but to bring about a settlement from the picket line. #ReclaimUCU

Trade union solidarity isn't just about strikes, jobs and pay. Right now it is the duty of every trade unionist who can, to get out en masse to stop the far right pogroms.
