Liverpool Hope UCU is holding a rally to defend jobs during the next open day on Saturday 28th June. We are there to support our colleagues, at risk of losing their jobs, giving up their Saturday to work the open day and recruit students. Join us! No Staff, No Hope!

@LiverpoolHopeUK (LHU) has now officially entered a trade dispute with @ucu over 39 proposed redundancies (around 10% of teaching staff). Consultation with the UCU branch at LHU (@BeOurHope) began on 15 May. Help us defend jobs, Sign the petition: change.org/p/stop-compuls…

Details for our extraordinary branch meeting next week 👇

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

On Wednesday! 👇

Starting the New Year off with our first branch meeting of 2025. Straight after Foundation Day, next Wednesday afternoon.

A reminder to all members to complete the survey we sent around via email last week regarding the questions on the UCEA pay offer. Please complete the survey by 12pm tomorrow so that we can represent your views at the BDM.

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.raiselysite.com

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.
