Members from all HE unions have voted to reject the insulting pay offer of 1.4% (a real-terms pay cut), and UNISON, UCU, Unite and EIS will be balloting for IA.
A joint statement from @unison.org.uk, @unitetheunion.bsky.social, @ucu.org.uk, @gmb.org.uk and EIS, is below. #fundourfuture #fundourpay
Loud from @tuc.org.uk, @unitetheunion.bsky.social delegates are clear in their message to @uklabour - Stop the cuts to disability benefits, drop the entire welfare bill!

For the first time since 1979, hotel workers at Village hotels in Glasgow are due to walk out after they voted 100% (on an 81% turnout).
Workers are on just above the minimum wage. They arenβt even paid for breaks.
The whole of our union supports @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social striking bin workers.
Council leader @cllrjohncotton.bsky.social has not attended a single negotiation and Angela Rayner, who is responsible for government commissioners, is complicit in the #FireAndRehire of these workers.
Congratulations ππΌ

Birmingham residents understand exactly why the bin workers are striking: The scale of the cuts being proposed by the council are indefensible. Bin workers face losing their homes.
Change for the better happens when people stand together and demand it. Join the march for all of us!
