#Southampton Unite Against the Far Right march today. The group is about to leave Portswood
Southampton Stand Up To Racism and anti-racism diversity rally: by far the biggest group were the anti-racist group, followed far behind by the police. The smallest group were the racists, who could only manage a couple of dozen - they had more flags than people! Proud of #Southampton

✊ It was an honour to join friends at Southampton Solent #UCU Branch (not on BSky) this pm to lobby their university's Board of Governors. The Governors were meeting to decide if to 'fire and rehire' staff using a subsidiary company, to deny staff a decent pension.

This weekend we were proud to join fellow trade unionists at #Tolpuddle2025. A powerful reminder of our history and why we fight on. ✊
💜♥️ Southampton UCU is privileged to have been able to make donations to the strike funds of @bournemouthucu.bsky.social and @ducu.bsky.social . We send our solidarity to all @ucu.org.uk members who have been striking to protect jobs and the HE sector.

Our ballot results are in!
-63% of members voted
-84% of voting members said YES to action short of strike
-72% of voting members said YES to strike action
Which means our call for industrial action has passed and we have a mandate to fight back!
Better governance ‘could have avoided mass university job cuts’.
