The University and College Union are spammers

The Universities Superannuation Scheme is currently in the process of changing its terms and conditions from a final salary pension scheme to a career average scheme. Unsurprisingly the UCU are campaigning against this.

The last two nights they have been spamming university staff with a campaign mailshot. (They tried to send us 3450 messages last night and 650 the previous night.) The mailing list they are using is VERY dodgy. At our site more than 9% of the addresses are invalid, and 1% of the addresses are role addresses that should not be receiving the kind of confidential personal information that a union might send to a member.
