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

Employment Rights Act 2025 - Acas The Employment Rights Bill is now the Employment Rights Act 2025. This means important legislation changes between 2025 and 2027. Keep up to date with the changes.

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

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.

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.

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 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

Huge Win on USS Pension Valuations – Loughborough UCU

(2/2) ...This change is a major achievement by @ucu.org.uk’s negotiating team and national officials, as well as all members who had voted for and taken the strike action which has unfortunately been necessary to focus the minds of employers and keep this on the agenda.
