Our ballot returned another big mandate. I hope we won't have to use it and management do the right thing. There's still time to resolve this by simply stopping the victimisation of our colleague.

Sending massive solidarity to Ryan and everyone at @uniteitf.bsky.social and elsewhere whose employers are undermining their own core values.

Ballot paper with an X in both ‘Yes’ boxes to vote for strike action and ASOS.

This is what it looks like when you refuse to tolerate trade union victimisation: voting YES and YES to defend a colleague.

#HandsOffMarie
#UniteAgainstVictimisation

Not only are we on strike to demand @ucu.org.uk stop its year-long campaign of trade union victimisation, but we also vote again to make clear we are taking a stand.

The TU movement is united on one matter: you do not act unlawfully to one of our own.

#HandsOffMarie #UniteAgainstVictimisation

As of midnight tonight I will be on strike due to trade union victimisation of one of my colleagues, ironically by a trade union. An injury to one is an injury to all. #HandsOffMarie

Branch update Fifty UCU branches join calls for unconditional talks After over 50 UCU branches signed up to a statement calling on SMT and the General Secretary to meet with Unite for unconditional talks, branch…

We wondered last week whether @drjogrady.bsky.social would listen to @ucu.org.uk members, agree to unconditional talks & withdraw the threat of deductions for taking ASOS.

So we asked her. She didn’t reply herself, but SMT’s response, regrettably, was “no”.

Members, we've announced our calendar of all member meetings for 2025-26. These meetings are vital opportunities to shape the direction of our branch and to stay engaged with the work of your union. We hope you’ll make a note of the dates and join us when you can. All the info is on our website.

Why is @ucu.org.uk engaging in the very behaviour that we/it publicly call out when members’ employers employ such tactics?

It is shameful. It undermines every branch of #UCU

It’s utterly destructive to staff morale and our branches’ leverage

Not in our name.

Solidarity @uniteucu.bsky.social
