We would like to remind members that we have two WhatsApp groups available for your use (see below for the links). The first group is for all members, regardless of which campus you work on. The second group is specifically for London campus members. These groups were initially set up to allow members to communicate during strike action when the use of work email is discouraged. The WhatsApp groups have developed into a fantastic branch building forum, enabling members to stay informed and up to date on the latest dispute news and – more broadly – to connect with each other and engage in discussions on union issues.
Our branch is committed to extending engagement with our membership, so that we can more effectively represent your interests. We encourage all members (both those in Loughborough and in London) to join and participate in our main WhatsApp group. We believe that, together, we can create positive change and better working conditions for all.
We should emphasise that, while we welcome questions and feedback via WhatsApp, it is essential to email the branch directly if you have a message for the committee. This ensures that nothing is missed, and allows us to address any concerns as quickly and effectively as possible.
All members should have been emailed the links to join this week however if you still need the link(s) to join please email ucu@lboro.ac.uk.
In summary: stay connected, stay informed and let your voice be heard
