@SkySportsTennis OMG - pls stop that commentator talking over the Fery match!!!

[jmshiel @JMSh8]

@thameswater - up to 8 homes being flooded since 4pm today in NW London. @LFB_Brent doing an amazing job to keep pining the water out but it’s relentless and 6+ hrs later @thameswater send one engineer! Am beyond enraged!!!!!!

BBC is the most annoying thing ever. They keep jumping from one channel to the other during tennis. I'm trying to watch Djokovic & they've switched channels 3 times already. Now on set point...they switched the broadcast off. Before u change channels u missed the point/points.

@SkySportsTennis Unfortunately I seem to be missing sports channels on Sky Go and can’t see the tennis from Barcelona 😩

We're on strike once more, with our @unitetheunion & @ImperialUnison branches, over pay. Here's why - https://t.co/dZJcXwuTda. You can help by:

1) Coming to speak to striking staff on the picket lines (South Kensington campus, 8.00 – 11.30 on Monday & 10.30 – 14.30 on Tuesday)

[Imperial College UCU @ImperialUCU]

2) Writing to President Hugh Brady – [email protected] – asking him to protect the value of staff pay.

3) Writing messages of support on social media using #SupportICLStaff

UCL awards 9.5% pay rise under £110m staff plan | Times Higher Education (THE) ‘[UCL President] Michael Spence, admitted […] that UK universities have been “systematically underpaying” staff for “many years”’ https://t.co/Wa8ebhreMV

[Imperial College UCU @ImperialUCU]

Plausible deniability at Imperial today as @PresHughBrady was asked about the fairness of deducting staff 25% of their salary for MAB participation per day INCLUDING ON WEEKENDS and revealed he was not aware 🙄

[UCU @ucu]

This is so powerful.

Students are finishing university with TBC instead of grades and staff are still receiving punitive salary deductions.

The bosses could have ended this dispute well before graduations.

This is all on you, @UCEA1.

Students&their families queuing to talk 2 our pickets at ImperialCollege OpenDay. We told them how great our teaching is, how committed our student support staff are &how we deserve our fair &affordable pay claim #Fairpaynow ⁦@ucu ⁦@ImperialUnison⁩ ⁦@unitetheunion⁩

[Imperial College UCU @ImperialUCU]

4) Please consider a donation to our strike fund.  We lose a day's salary for each strike day, and we lose 25% salary for each day of the MAB. If you are able to donate please email [email protected] for details.

[Imperial College UCU @ImperialUCU]

3) Email the President and Provost of the College, asking them to end the dispute by agreeing the unions’ affordable pay demand.

[Imperial College UCU @ImperialUCU]

2) Publicise our dispute by retweeting messages from this account

[Imperial College UCU @ImperialUCU]

1) Please do not cross our picket line – including the electronic picket line – on strike days. Email the college and ask to rearrange your business with Imperial for another day. Please let us know if you have done this.

[Imperial College UCU @ImperialUCU]

In addition, UCU are running a marking & assessment boycott (MAB) of coursework, exams and exam boards.  There is more information on the UCU webpages.

Graduating is a privilege I never thought I’d be able to achieve and despite not graduating with a classification I was at least able to take a stand and protest the decisions the uni and UCEA have taken. Universities need to #settlethedispute and renegotiate with @ucu now.

[Imperial College UCU @ImperialUCU]

We have written to the Provost and @PresHughBrady offering them the opportunity to send a correction to staff as soon as possible, as staff are currently being misled into believing they have a consolidated increase far above the amount it actually is.

[Imperial College UCU @ImperialUCU]

It also includes a maths error that exaggerates the effect of the lowest paid 43 employees, treating them as equivalent to 250. We explain this is detail, and compare this with the UCEA offer here: https://t.co/29l3F0Gyto. The true offer is close to a 5.5% average salary uplift.
