Last week I wrote a long post on the @ucucommons.bsky.social Substack, explaining all about what the elections are for, what the elected roles are, and why it's so important to vote. It's been shared many times now but let's keep going!

All solidarity with the brilliant people workers from @uniteucu.bsky.social! They are vital to our union and the union and the way their well-concerns are being dismissed is utterly unconscionable.
HQ, sort this. How are we going to “ReclaimHE” without the organisers making that possible?

We deeply regret our strike action which begins today in our Campaign for A Safe and Professional Workplace. With our dispute now a year old we remain resolute that the toxic bullying culture, racism and victimisation that our members and officers are experiencing must end.

🚩Proud to have represented my branch at UCU’s parliamentary lobby.
🚩The Labour government must not allow Higher Education to collapse on their watch.
🚩We need to hold the government’s feet to the fire and save our universities.

Well Starmer has hinted they’re gonna raise tuition fees. Which I find morally abhorrent but in the short term will probably be a lifeline.
