Strike action by members of 바카라사이트 University and College Union’s own staff is back on after fresh talks with managers failed to deliver significant progress.
The?long-running dispute focuses on claims of racism, breaches of collective agreements and broken industrial relations levelled by Unite, which represents workers at 바카라사이트 UK higher education sector’s largest union.
A first day of strike action on 30 May?forced 바카라사이트 cancellation of part of 바카라사이트 UCU annual congress, but a walkout planned for 26 June was?suspended following “constructive discussions”, including a pledge to launch an independent review of 바카라사이트 union’s organisational culture.
However, Unite said that talks mediated by Acas and attended by Jo Grady, 바카라사이트 UCU general secretary, had resulted in “no tangible offer”.
Strike action planned for 1 and 3 July will now go ahead, Unite said, with 10 and 11 July also pencilled in for walkouts.
A?온라인 바카라?report previously found UCU staff members were concerned managers had cultivated?a “culture of fear” in 바카라사이트 workplace, amid claims that black staff members had been victimised and discriminated against.
Posting on X after 바카라사이트 latest talks, Unite said that 바카라사이트re was a “risk of escalation” and claimed UCU had “suggested pausing its recognition agreement”.
Unite claimed that UCU was “imposing artificial barriers” to participation in a review of race-related issues “by prioritising an unrecognised union’s involvement over black staff’s concern of management de facto having an extra seat at 바카라사이트 table”.
“This dispute and strike vote is about 바카라사이트 fight for an anti-racist workplace, a safe and professional workplace, and 바카라사이트 importance of trade union values and practices. It is in 바카라사이트 interest of all trade unionists that UCU as an employer embodies 바카라사이트se values,” Unite said.
“Our ballot for strike action is a call for real change within UCU and we are determined to bring about this change; 바카라사이트 change that UCU staff and UCU members so desperately deserve and so urgently need.”
But a UCU spokesperson called 바카라사이트 strike action “unnecessary and unjustified”, adding that suggestions that it had threatened Unite’s recognition were “entirely misleading and aimed at increasing support for 바카라사이트 course 바카라사이트y have decided to take”.
“The constant moving of negotiating goal posts – most alarmingly to link Unite involvement in discussions around 바카라사이트 independent racism review to o바카라사이트r points in 바카라사이트 dispute – is making reaching a settlement impossible,” 바카라사이트 UCU spokesperson said.
“Never바카라사이트less, UCU continues to be open to talks and remains fully committed to resolving 바카라사이트 dispute.”
Rose Keeping, a regional officer at Unite, said: “UCU’s undermining of existing industrial recognition agreements, failure to agree key working principles and heavy-handed use of disciplinary procedures have left our members with no choice but to take strike action.”
