    Episode 12: no branch news – 3 July 2024

    Today’s episode was due to be recorded 3 July, but, as a member of UCU staff and of Unite LE127 union branch, Alan Smith was on strike, and UCU branch committee members would, of course, not cover his work while he is striking. We have released this special LeedsUCU branch news episode without any branch news, to illustrate that the industrial action has an impact. With Rachel Walls.
