We're sad to report that one of our lovely members has had his e-trike and mobility aid STOLEN in York yesterday from a disabled cycle parking space. See below for info and bike details.
Not easily resold as they are custom made to suit the disability needs of the owner. RT

Network Rail want to build a 96-step bridge crossing at Copmanthorpe. They applied using permission which prevents the Council objecting on grounds of inaccessibility. Object to this discrimination of disabled, pushchair users, and cyclists before 2nd May! https://t.co/vqHdhWHqvV

[Divest USS @DivestUSS]

Please support this legal case against USS however you can. The fundraising is going well but they need to reach the target quickly. Donate, tell others, urge your UCU branch to contribute, spread the word!

[York Cycle Campaign @YorkCycle]

People thrive in cities were they can reach shops, schools, work, leisure, healthcare, friends, family in 15 minutes or less. Walking, that's 1 mile away, cycling 2 or 3 miles. York should be a model city for 15-min neighbourhoods

@LinguisVic UCU is going to raise this issue with HR ...

Diversity for publicity, but business as usual otherwise. Really sorry to learn of Shruti’s situation, knowing there are many others in the same boat.

Thank you @GASLA16 for an amazing conference! The talks are wonderful, and the f2f chats in the coffee breaks are a particular delight

[GASLA16 @GASLA161]

It is such a pleasure to meet so many of you in person. Day 2 of #GASLA16 is drawing to an end after many great presentations and fruitful discussions. @ Radisson Blu Royal Garden Hotel, Trondheim https://t.co/ojuBxC6gwG

@cathelaing24 @BritishAcademy_ @UoYLangLing @YorkPsychology Congratulations!

Two friends, two PhD students. On gets a job at University of Leeds, perhaps as one of the new Curriculum Redesigned posts; the other gets a job on the same salary at Leeds Beckett. The colleague at LB now can expect twice the income in retirement than the UoL colleague.

@johannalwaters Sadly, yes

[UCU UOY is telling our UEB they are wrong @UcuYork]

Why are we striking? A poweful speech from our Wednesday rally by Helen Smith, the head of the English and Related Literature. https://t.co/dZN8BYGSyn @UniOfYork VC, you and your fellow VCs and teams are responsible for all Helen says. Shameful. #OneOfUsAllOfUs @ucu

@childs_claire Agree that this belongs to the nightmare-ish

@MariaHaskins Slaithwaite. You can call it 'sla-wit' or 'slath-wait' but never 'slayth-wait'. (See: The 10 Huddersfield place names which people always pronounce wrong) https://t.co/SwSmXk7xhY

@KatherinaWalper Yes, take care of yourself first. You can't do all of the other things if you don't! (I need to remind myself, too) Wishing you well ❤️
