Sometimes solutions are easy @DrJoGrady & @ucu Let’s sit down and talk without conditions or threats that damage everyone. It’s time to resolve this dispute. Our statement, with support from the following branch committees:
Image of a statement reading: "We call on Jo Grady and UCU SMT to: 1. Enter negotiations with Unite UCU without preconditions. 2. Stop the threat of punitive deductions for ASOS – this breaches UCU and TUC policy and only serves to undermine all of us, not least those UCU members currently involved in legal test cases against punitive deductions after taking lawful industrial action.”

What can students do to support lecturers? They can write to the VC & ask “why are you saying cuts are needed when you aren’t cutting your £290,000 pay?” “Why are you, Uni exec, taking a combined pay packet of £2.3m when you’re cutting 400 jobs?” @CardiffUCU, @DrJoGrady

An in-depth interview I gave to @counterfireorg about the cruel and unnecessary cats at Cardiff University. Watch this for the “who, what, why, when, and what next” of a devastating week for @CardiffUCU members. 👇✊ youtu.be/MRa0ShnjDLQ?si=ufmR…

Congress proceedings have been cancelled today due to strike action by @UniteUCU members. It's very disappointing that @ucu has not settled this dispute and has allowed the business of our union to be impacted in this way. Donate to the strike fund: unite-ucu-strike-fund.raisel…

Today our branch sent a cash donation to the student organisers of the encampment at the University of Liverpool. The institution must meet the demands of its students and divest from all companies who are complicit in perpetrating genocide in Gaza.
