Not only are we on strike to demand @ucu.org.uk stop its year-long campaign of trade union victimisation, but we also vote again to make clear we are taking a stand.
The TU movement is united on one matter: you do not act unlawfully to one of our own.

As of midnight tonight I will be on strike due to trade union victimisation of one of my colleagues, ironically by a trade union. An injury to one is an injury to all. #HandsOffMarie

We're ready to go on strike to call out UCUs behaviour towards our colleague and comrade. Only UCU management can call this off.
Regrettably our members will be commencing strike action from 9 February over the victimisation of our Health and Safety Officer.
