UniteUCUWe might be on day 11 of our strike action, but we’re not letting up.
From North West region in Manchester, up to Scotland and back down to Gateshead and Sheffield, out members were out in force this morning.
David Cantrell 🏏I left #UniteTheUnion a few years ago because of their stupid internal politics. Being "more leftier than thou" seemed to be more important to the well-paid union leadership than its members were. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cedyy520v32o
Why do we strike? We’ll let our members give you some reasons why.

We hope the employer can quickly reconsider its approach. We don’t want to take this action, especially when too many UCU members desperately need our support right now. Be assured we remain committed to finding a resolution which can see us calling off any further action and ending our dispute.
After our employer ended Acas talks last week, supported by Unite officials we tried to secure a last minute agreement to bring them back to the table. This could have led to action being paused. Sadly no written proposal was presented for consideration. Threats to our branch officers remain.
With work-related stress absences & casework levels at alarming levels, widespread dysfunction, and too many staff leaving, unable to continue, we need our employer to realise they must work with and not against us if they are to make UCU a place where we are all proud to work.
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.
