Ask your MP to support the higher education sector by calling on the Westminster government to fund pension scheme increases for universities, in the same way as schools and further education colleges: https://t.co/TWL77AePeF

[UCU @ucu]

The British government must urgently provide funding to cover increased pension costs for post-92 universities, as they are doing for schools and colleges.

Failing to do so will put jobs at risk.

[NEU Independent Sector @NEUindeSector]

@NEUnorthern This must be a new low.
As Dame Allan's Schools prepares to open its new £3million 6th Form centre it is using Fire and Rehire to force staff to hand accept a 40% reduction in employer pension contributions.
What does that say of their values?
Solidarity with @NEUnion members

[UCUHallam @UCUHallam]

If marking is so time consuming it merits 100% pay deductions why does @sheffhallamuni only pay its academics for 22.5 minutes per student per 10 credit module to set, mark and moderate assessments.
Is it
A) they underpay staff ?
B) deductions are disproportionate?
Or
C) both?

[UCU @ucu]

Very good two minute explainer about the government’s Minimum Standards Bill & why it is a “Draconian, terrible piece of legislation”, as @Fox_Claire says, which everyone should be opposing, not just trade unionists

Worth a watch. Spells out the problems in a straightforward way
