Tomorrow we're holding a Town Hall event (with lunch provided!) to discuss the proposed merger with Greenwich University. All Kent UCU members have been sent an email about it, but do bring your non-union colleagues.

It's being held in Grimond Lecture Theatre 1 and on Teams.

At today's AGM the branch voted overwhelmingly in favour of taking a late motion to Congress to call on NEC to affiliate, resource and publicise protests by @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social, @blacktriangleuk.bsky.social and other DPOs and to oppose all proposed cuts to disability benefits.

Wonderful to have comrades from the Trades Union Council join us for our final picket against job cuts and increasing workloads at Kent!

Out bright and early complete with drums and percussion. Good morning to everyone but management!

We are out picketing this week to fight the threat of redundancies. Come find us on the picket line Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

Our local branch have had the results back from our ballot on Industrial Action (this doesn't mean we're about to take it - just that we have the mandate to call for it, if necessary, and even then we'd need members to agree to take it and therefore another ballot).
In short - WE HAVE A MANDATE!

Have Bluesky open too - then you can look at pictures of Clearing Cats and Dogs (other animals are available).
Also anyone else on here who's bearing the burden of this extremely important work can commiserate - and those of use who've escaped this year can add cat photos
