Ignored me say it's my mother tongue+ only fluent lang. Also, not a flex.

Yts clap despite bad politics; pat selves on back for being supportive.

The Safe & Professional Workplace dispute must be resolved. I'm deeply concerned by the tone of multiple emails received from #UCU HQ about the dispute and urge members to look at @uniteucu.bsky.social's website too.
There's also an open letter to UCU GS and SMT here: tinyurl.com/ucuunitesoli...

I know some members struggled to believe this could really be true earlier this week. But anyone who emailed a UCU staffer on strike earlier this week got an identikit out-of-office + deleted advice page + this email to #UCU staff sadly confirms this really happened.

It gets worse…
Members back at work today after taking lawful strike action are now being threaten with disciplinary procedures if their auto-replies mention the reason for their absence during future strikes.
In what trade union world is this acceptable?

This was a terrible choice which has:
-worsened industrial relations
-directly undermined every #UCU member & branch in dispute
- directly undermines UCU's own advice & organising tactics
- is likely to further embolden post-16 ed employers to use more aggressive tactics citing 'well you do it'

I've now seen an email which essentially claims by putting info about being on strike into an autoreply (again: a tactic UCU has routinely advised us to use as members) that the staff doing so have caused UCU to disclose personal sensitive data. Let's compare this assertion to UCU's template:
