UCU have been calling for a balanced and funded education system for decades. This is why we welcome Andy Burnham’s announcement today.
It must be matched by real investment - including in staff wages.
And we cannot allow working class kids who aspire to breakdown class barriers to be left behind either.
Wolverhampton UCU retweeted
You aren’t paranoid if you think the government hate universities, students and knowledge creation.
If Keir Starmer leaves Parliament after his resignation as PM, then he'd make an ideal university VC. He has all the qualities required. He has no qualities.

A quick overview of why we are taking industrial action, the current status of our fight, and how you can support those taking action.

Proud to confirm a speaker from @GoldsmithsUCU is coming to @UCUNUbranch AGM next week, and we're happily donating to their fighting fund too - solidarity! @ucu
“No redundancies ever again." That's the message from students and staff at Goldsmiths today.
This is the third round of cuts in five years.
Hundreds of jobs are at risk.
Staff taking lawful industrial action have been hit with 100% pay deductions.
Enough is enough.

“Asleep at the wheel.”
The government has sleepwalked into a higher education crisis that we have been warning about for years.
24 universities facing potential insolvency. Thousands of job losses. Course closures. Campuses sold off.
@DrJoGrady is calling for an emergency higher education taskforce so ministers directly intervene.
Wolverhampton UCU retweeted
Solidarity with @WolvesUCU @UCU_Ulster @GoldsmithsUCU and all other branches recently informed they are facing huge job losses. As well as those with ongoing longer term plans for cuts.
Wolverhampton UCU retweeted
We are once again on strike.
We would rather not be. We would prefer @HeriotWattUni to remove the threat of compulsory redundancy.
We rarely use X now. Please look for us on 🦋 hwucu, and on the other places.

Staff at @UCUEssex are on strike from Thursday.
Management must rethink its decision to cuts jobs and close the Southend campus.
Join us on the picket lines and hear from @nowak_paul at Thursday's rally

Yesterday's branch newsletter. One of the ironies of British universities is that whilst they run mental health days, senior managers scheme to cut staff pensions.
