We really hope our employer now respects the will of UCU & Unite members. #ReclaimUCU

FFS. The desire to full marketize a sector of the economy ala #UKHE while retaining, at your prerogative, the coercive power of the state over things you dislike. #UCU2024

OH GOD @davehitchcock.bsky.social 😔, what have the #Tories done now? Am currently wrapped up in #UCU2024 congress shenanigans. Dare I go in search of details?

Black lab beanie baby sitting on top of pamphlets. Highlighted portions: This war will not be "won" by either side...This is why campaigning for a ceasefire now is the only way to stop the killing. On a separate page: Do not support motion 28 unless amendment B24 is tabled and passed.

While I am a known quantity at #UCU2024 Congress, Sam was able to get the #UcuLeft bulletin from one of the #SWP outside the conference center.

A UCU Congress agenda and Stuart Hall's "Hard Road to Renewal" sit on a train carriage table. a small black lab Beanie Babie looms, judging me for not yet tucking into the material.

On my way, via train, to #UCU2024 annual congress, this time in Bournemouth. Agenda out and making scribbles while the doggo checks my work.

As a self-appointed #UKHE policy wonk, I would like to invite folks attending #UCU2024 Congress to a fringe-esque meeting on Funding & FOIA once I figure out where we can post up for an hour or two.

Announcing two #UCU2024 Congress events!

First up:
Unite LE127 Fringe
Tuesday 28 May, 8-9pm, Highcliff Marriott Hotel

If you’d like a Unite speaker to talk about our dispute at other fringe events, please email us & we'll do our best to provide someone.
