@sstroschein2 It’s just superb. Have reposted. There has to be serious, rapid, swift, intervention. 😢😭😭

Thanks again to @RachaelMaskell, chair of our parliamentary group for joining us at congress.

Rachel didn’t hold back, “it’s time to call out every institution and individual harming further, higher, and prison education”

We have the tools to fight back: our MPs, ministers, and collective pressure.

With hundreds of jobs on the line and dozens of courses at risk, staff living through one of the biggest university restructuring projects of recent years fear they are shouldering the blame for wider failures

I am so glad this message is coming through. Why universities are necessary.

[University of Nottingham UCU branch @UoNUCU]

Fighting not only for our jobs but the future of education and thus the country.

Your fight is our fight, and our fight yours.

Together we will win this and save our universities.

@bingle_colin @OfficialUoM But, 🙂 of course. Someone did say: They just need to know which drugs to provide from list of symptoms that the patient writes in. No physiology, Anatomy, biochemistry knowledge needed. And here we are, hurting down that road.

A labour government is sleep walking into this disaster . Unbelievable

[UCU @ucu]

Our @UoNUCU members began a 2 month strike today to stop management taking a “wrecking ball” to the uni.

700 jobs to be cut, dozens of courses to be axed.

Thank you to the staff and students speaking out👇

Shame on university bosses for refusing to even be interviewed ‼️

[UCU @ucu]

We met Education Secretary @bphillipsonMP with @unisontheunion to set out the crisis in higher education.
Now we've written with what needs to happen:
→a minister-led HE workforce plan
→ a review of funding, regulation & governance
→ scrap the international student levy
→ end subsidiary companies stripping staff out of the Teachers' Pension Scheme

Sounds familiar to us, with the added on large scale redundancies facing UK HE. Will there be enough of us left teaching medics? Solidarity Dr Haseena Wazir @TheBMA @ucu

[Dr Haseena Wazir @DrHWazir]

Medicine is in crisis.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of doctors are looking to leave the NHS because training jobs are scarce, pay has been eroded, & their work is not valued.

This crisis sits at the Government’s door. That is why doctors are going back on the picket line.

[UCU @ucu]

Today, staff at the University of Nottingham begin 61 days of strike action.

2,700 staff put at risk. 600+ jobs and 40+ courses on the line.

Share, show your support, or get down to the picket lines and help save this amazing institution.

@alexanderrX_ @NicholasOShaug1 I note we are using the word “bonkers” again , re the demise of our Universities! That’s some depth of feeling, I’ll let you interpret the meaning. 😂
