UCU in hypocrisy shocker about trans policies

[wacademia]

Unite branch LE127 represents UCU staff and are in dispute with UCU. One of the issues raised is the lack of a gender identity policy for UCU's own staff. Sources:

• https://uniteucu.wordpress.com/unite-voices/double-standards/

Could UCU's unwillingness to "walk the walk" be because UCU are happy to arm-bend others into adopting the legally-dubious¥ (and also mysteriously now missing, with only dead links on the website) template policies from AdvanceHE (pdf),but don't want to take the risk of being taken to tribunal themselves?

¥ "Think of the person as being the gender that they self-identify as" being an example of legally-dubious overreach because it's not acceptable to try to tell someone what to think.

That is interesting!

Ah, the UCU, who attended the Labour Conference to <checks notes> attend the Trans Tights Rally…

I'm searching for any ref to Unite the Union on Mumsnet and found this thread today. I'm in LE RM 006, which is retired members in Chelmsford and Colchester. I'd like to find any GC trade union members in Essex in Unite.
