What is the actual national strategy for opposing cuts/redundancies outlined here? "a rounded UCU approach" Reject the pay offer but vote no to IA over pay to "send a clear[?] message to UCEA that this is unacceptable" Instead focus on "amplifying local redundancy disputes" No strategy at all.

Surely this is bringing the union into disrepute.
Secret UCU@secretucu.bsky.social · 2w agoThreatening the whole 5 member equality team with redundancy is definitely a new low for UCU. Don’t senior managers have better things to do than attack their own staff - again? The chasm between the equality rhetoric and the toxic reality for staff is truly shocking. #solidarity
The French Nazis that Loyalists brought over to Sandy Row last night have spray painted a message of support for Gisèle Pelicot's rapist husband just in case you thought the "protect our women" brigade are anything other than human tumours

Time to nationalise HE under worker and student control. This b0110cks has gone on long enough. Whose universities? Our universities!
SUTR Scotland statement: 5,000 stand united after Leith and Edinburgh racist stabbings
When you scapegoat the vulnerable for your own comfort or convenience or because of your own ignorance, you are licking the very boots that will happily stomp all over you.
Proud of the trade union movement and Scotland for turning out in huge numbers to oppose the far right, to reclaim the streets, and say refugees are welcome here. Nae Pasaran
A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

End Deportations Belfast@enddbelfast.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe Royal College of Nursing (RCN) have called out the PSNI for saying that ‘international’ healthcare workers should provide ID to masked paramilitary / far-right if stopped and told to produce it. Who are the PSNI serving exactly? This is akin to ‘Klansman’ policing. Reported by U105.
