Our employer has now been sent official notification by #UniteTheUnion of our intention to ballot for industrial action over cuts to the #PGRsAsStaff Campaign post.

Management refuses to maintain as 1 FTE a new position being offered to the staff affected.

#BackTheBallot #PGRsAsStaff

Our employer has confirmed that they're refusing to withdraw their recent recognition of another union for some management grade staff. This is a direct breach of our recognition agreement.

We have arranged an urgent meeting with #UniteTheUnion as to the next steps.

Somewhat belated #introduction.

We're the trade union branch representing Unite members across the UK who work for the University and College Union. Because trade unions are employers too and we’re unfortunately not immune to many of the same problems that affect workers in every other sector.

We’re currently facing a number of issues impacting our members and our branch which we're working hard to try and resolve with our employer.

#UniteTheUnion #UCU

A percentage offer which means the increase for SMT grades is three times higher than the lowest paid staff is an insult.

An ‘improved’ offer which adds less than £3 per week on top of the one initially tabled to the salaries of our lowest paid members when we’re experiencing an ongoing #CostOfLivingCrisis is out of touch.

Our members deserve more respect.

#UniteTheUnion #UCU

After their revised offer of an additional 0.6% was rejected, UCU SMT have agreed to return with a better proposal than the 4.6% pay increase they tabled today.

This offer was nowhere near “amongst the best on offer in any major union” as staff were promised.

Unite UCU members voted for a flat rate pay claim in order to prioritise the lowest paid. This is something UCU SMT has thus far refused to explore.

#SharonGraham really is a fantastic General Secretary. Powerful speech, all about fighting and winning.

#Introduction for a new instance!

My name's Korin, pronouns they/them.

I'm a #union rep/organiser in #UniteTheUnion and also a proud member of the #IWW.

Politically I'm an #anarchosyndicalist at heart, i.e. I believe unions will give people a respite from capitalism enough that they can start questioning hierarchies and eventually end them. Though pragmatically for as long as we have political parties then I am very happy in the #ScottishGreens.

Any other #queer #anarchists, say hello!

A little #introduction now I’m starting this new account specifically for my professional role.

I’m a lifelong #union activist (I joined #UNISON on day 1 of my first proper job and was a steward within the first 6 months). I’ve also been a steward for #UCU and #UniteTheUnion

Former maths teacher, occasional actor, and always a Whovian.

Now based in #Scotland working a union officer for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP)

@RichardJMurphy Excellent forecast. Hashtags to ensure this is more widely seen:

A new #Unite report exposes the unbridled profiteering behind the cost-of-living crisis.
Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda made combined profits of £3.2 billion in 2021, nearly double pre-pandemic levels.
Profiteering is a reflection of Britain's broken economy. The choices made by corporations are revealed to have caused historic “price spiralling” – and governments are letting them do it.
