Vanavond moet Thijs Veldhuis #UniUtrecht #UCU vechten voor een plek in de volgende ronde van The Voice #TVOH. Straks vanaf 20 uur op #RTL4
Time for everyone to disapprovingly shake their heads, and certainly not point and laugh.

The trade union watchdog has rejected calls to rerun the last University and College Union general secretary election after concerns were raised about its leader, Jo Grady, securing an “unfair advantage” in the poll. Tom Williams reports #UCU #EduSky

Absolutely fuming as member of Grady4GS team member to have had our campaign dragged through the mud by people who can’t accept they lost. Very pleased at this outcome and have more to say soon. #UCU
#UCU members #USIC have been taking action over pay and other T&Cs. Here's what the branch secretary has to say about the dispute @ucu.org.uk
GB trade union types: it's worth knowing that some important changes under the Employment Rights Act are already in effect, with more coming in on 6th April. This is a really handy breakdown from ACAS, worth sharing with your branches. #ucu

#UCU save HE — you'll miss it when it's gone.

With Maria Chondrogianni, national #ucu president, at the amazing #TogetherAlliance protest against the far-right in London yesterday. Huge demonstration, one of the largest I’ve seen. #london #protest
Fantastic turnout for the #togetheralliance. Marching with #ucu @southamptonucu.bsky.social 📢🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥
Today, with my partner are off too to join our union #UCU to the Together Alliance! Together for hope, for love, for unity, for compassion, for dignity for all! Because we deserve better! Because another world is possible- a compassionate world! #together_alliance

Our Fair deal Flamingo, Worker BEE, and Complusory Chicken might be full of hot air but they are not as inflated as the SSR figures HWU put out this week to justify keeping CR to get rid of a tiny number of staff.
No compulsory redundancy
No need for compulsory redundancy

Solidarity comes in all sizes.
Excellent placard welding skills when your sign is as big as you are😍

Moving academics to subsidiaries moves them to entities that (1) may not recognise #UCU, & (2) even if they do, are outside national bargaining, even if those subsidiaries are wholly-owned by unis who ARE in nat bargaining. It’s not only bad for members, it’s bad for the whole union, for all of us.

Another EGG-cellent day on the Pickets. Student sign makers out in force.
We could not BEE anymore pleased with our RAWRsome inflatables who have done more for staff morale in a few hours than Heriot-Watt has all year.

Our picket chicken is clucking annoyed by the lack of movement from our employer.

Our #ucu Commons fortnightly newsletter is out! Please have a read for updates on what we've been up to and news from the sector more generally.
Hi #ucu folks!
You may not know but UCUCommons puts out a newsletter which highlights various UCU, FE, and HE stuff. It comes out every other week and we’ve been running it for a few months.
I think it’s helpful and readable. HE centric because that’s where we are at the moment.
We should #beeworking but we're striking for no compulsory redundancies #ucu @hwucu.bsky.social

We are very disappointed with Heriot-Watt's response to our proposal to settle the dispute.
They have not moved one inch and remain determined to threaten staff with compulsory redundancy
Therefore we have no option but to return to strike action, Wed to Fri this week and Mon-Wed next week. #ucu
