I'm usually dead quiet, so public speaking is not my thing really.....but......it was my pleasure on behalf of Fire Brigades Union to support UCU members today on their 26th day of strike action. Your fight is our fight Thank you TUC North East, Yorkshire & Humber for organising the event Here is my speech

This was so brilliant! So much union solidarity - so good to feel the real support we have from so many workers in the region in our fight for higher education! ✊🩷

We can think of some for universities: 1) Caps on top salaries 2) less Vanity buildings 3) plan for change - to avoid crisis management 4) invest in your staff not slogans 5) Move away from neoliberal managerialism and consider how partnership might work better for everyone!

Over 20000 jobs lost in UK Universities in 2024-2025 For context, miners' strike in 1984-85 was called over the loss of 20000 jobs This puts into context the scale of devastation presided over by Bridget Phillipson Jacqui Smith UCU

Voice of Victim "There was a bullying incident in my university dept We all had to go for culture & communication training Rather than holding individual who was at fault to account, blame was institutionalised & made less personal And no-one took any responsibility"

Terrifying to listen to Carlo Morelli from UoDUCU is pure raging #Savethe632 talk about the absolute shambles going on at University of Dundee where SMT continue to threaten jobs despite funding from Scottish Government. Job cuts announced at UWS too. If you work in a university, you need to join UCU now.
