@prof_chrisday @UniofNewcastle @UCEA1 Newcastle next?

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

We have co-authored a statement with the @uniofyork Vice Chancellor, Professor Jeffery. https://t.co/AA8Aw5rJYs We each want a return to negotiations and call on our @UCEA1 and @ucu to make this happen as soon as possible. #ucuRISING

🚨 STRIKE ACTION 🚨

Today our five days of strike action begin. Today is also Newcastle University Open Day.

We will be there picketing, leafletting, and ready to have conversations with prospective students and their families/guardians about how the uni REALLY treats staff.

[NCL Student-Staff Solidarity @NclSolidarity]

See you at the pickets!

Great to see Sabbatical Officers standing in solidarity with @ucu. Will Sabbs @NewcastleSU stand with the PGRs they represent?

[Sam has left @18thcsam]

I saw NUSU has once again both-sidesed the dispute with the UCEA by creating a letter asking 'both parties' to negotiate. This is, to put it kindly, pretty weird given NUSU represents UCU members, and it's only the UCEA who have so far refused to negotiate.

[Newcastle University UCU newcastleucu.bsky.social @NewcastleUniUCU]

Wow! Thank you, Lauren @NDWithLozza, for taking the opportunity at the Pride of Newcastle Awards to highlight our struggle and show your solidarity!

You are a superstar comrade! ✊🏻 (As so many of our students are)

[Newcastle University UCU newcastleucu.bsky.social @NewcastleUniUCU]

The support we receive from our students in this struggle is so incredible. We have a fantastic relationship with them.

And guess what? They are spot on! We need action from @UniofNewcastle to urge @UCEA1 back round the table to #SettleTheDispute.

[NCL Student-Staff Solidarity @NclSolidarity]

Solidarity with @NewcastleUniUCU

We’re once again asking @UCEA1 to resume negotiations and #SettleTheDispute, and for @UniofNewcastle VC @prof_chrisday to speak up and call on them to do so. Stop ignoring your staff and students and take action!

Mean ethnicity and gender pay gaps at Newcastle University are INCREASING - from their own report https://t.co/EzPXcPUp3b @NewcastleUniUCU

[NCL Student-Staff Solidarity @NclSolidarity]

Seeing as the Pride of Newcastle Awards are tonight, we thought we’d do a #ThrowbackThursday to last year’s awards where Newcastle students stood in solidarity with striking staff.

Their point still stands @UniofNewcastle @prof_chrisday

[Newcastle Uni Feminist Society @nusufemsoc]

We're so proud to have won a Pride of Newcastle Award for Sustainability. We thought we'd take the opportunity to educate our VC on what climate justice actually means... @NewcastleUcu @StudentsNCL @UniofNewcastle

[NCL Student-Staff Solidarity @NclSolidarity]

Environmental justice includes worker justice. Meet the demands of the @ucu.

We want action, not just words @UniofNewcastle @prof_chrisday

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

.@UniofNewcastle has made environmental justice a core value, aligned all its work with UN goals and built partnerships to drive sustainability and innovation, says @prof_chrisday #THEimpact

@THEworldunirank @prof_chrisday @UniofNewcastle Reduce social inequalities but paying your staff adequate wages and committing to end demographic pay gaps
