Each of us is one pay check or illness away from poverty. Meanwhile billionaires pay a smaller proportion of taxes than any of us. The two are related. This is an injustice.

Solidarity with our brothers and sisters at University of Nottingham Unison branch. If you know any UNISON members at the university encourage them to vote.

We're aware of the plan to cut 430 jobs at NUH. If you're a concerned member comment below or send us a message ✊

University bosses ignored our fully costed plan to protect jobs.
They’re pressing ahead with damaging cuts in Phase One - and threatening more to come.
They refused to listen to staff.

Now it’s our turn to speak - and we will speak loudly.

📮 Ballot papers should have arrived. Fill yours in and return it today.
Every YES vote makes us stronger. Every YES vote sends a message they can’t ignore.

📣 Megan Wilson-Ibbotson, our Assistant Branch Secretary, spoke at the rally against job cuts at the University of Nottingham in solidarity with UCU - University and College Union and University of Nottingham Unison branch members.

🚩 UCU voted to strike and you can support their picket lines today at the University Park West Entrance any time between 8am and 3pm and at the North entrance, from 8am to 11 am. Cutting 356 jobs is unacceptable and all trade unions must oppose them everywhere!

✊ We are also committed to fight against the 430 job cuts at NUH. If you are interested in building a campaign to stop the cuts contact us via message or email at [email protected].

✋✋ 2 weeks ago our HCAs on the picket lines voted YES to 4 weeks of strike action in August if NUH bosses don't put forward a decent backpay offer in the upcoming negotiations.

🚩📣 Our members just want a fair settlement of this dispute and UNISON is going to put the offer to a vote if NUH takes a serious approach and offers more than the insulting (1) extra day of annual leave.

Our members are ready and they are watching!
