I NEED EVERY SINGLE UCU MEMBER TO RT THIS

This is the biggest week in our history

Every single university takes strike action on Thursday and Friday

This week the balance of power shifts. 70,000 UCU members Vs 150 Vice Chancellors

Let’s leave nothing behind

[NoRedundanciesChester @NoRedundancies]

JOIN US. WEDNESDAY 2nd MARCH, TOWN HALL.

Reading weeks are helpful for students AND staff. Providing well earned and much needed breaks, providing a chance to catch a breath with work. These can be VITAL to both academic progress AND mental health.

Ye are many - they are few.

[UCU @ucu]

[UCU Chester @ChesterUcu]

Rise like LIONS, Chester people! 🦁 The strike we voted for is ON. UCU strike action 1st-3rd Dec. Work to contract from 1st Dec & into 2022 till employers listen to us! You can help; contact the branch for info. Fair wages/workloads, end precarity & inequality! #UCU #FourFights

[NoRedundanciesChester @NoRedundancies]

I wonder if they’ll think the same if staff remove all their hard work (lectures, seminar material, research) from university platforms?

Disgraceful!! #Chesterucu @ChesterUcu

[UCU @ucu]

Wow!

In a @UniversitiesUK & @UCEA1 press conference, vice chancellors compared staff working from home during the pandemic with taking strike action

"We have been able to cope with 0% of staff coming on campus [during covid], so I am sure we can cope with this”

Disgraceful

[UCU @ucu]

Not only are employers refusing to budge from this insulting 'offer' of cuts & tinkering, it's all they are willing to talk about.

We cannot negotiate with preconditions set by employers.

They need to get round the table, drop their insults, & start treating staff with respect.

[UCU @ucu]

UCEA's chief exec has written to our general secretary @DrJoGrady. In it, he lays out the employers' 'offer'

📉 Yet another real-terms pay cut, insultingly packaged as a "pay uplift"

❌Lip-service to pay gaps and spiralling workload

❗️Not a single mention of casualisation

[UCU @ucu]

🚨BREAKING: UCEA, the group representing uni bosses, has confirmed it is doubling down on real-terms pay cuts, refusing to even acknowledge casualisation & offering vague gestures on inequality & workload.

They are refusing to seriously negotiate.

This is awful!

[UCU @ucu]

Embarrassing @BBCNews piece for @LivUni managers

Management is choosing to stop a student getting a scholarship to become a maths teacher by continuing its dispute with @ULivUCU2

All @LivUni needs to do is cancel the 2 compulsory redundancies to end ongoing industrial action

Very pleased to announce that I’ll be joined by a good friend of @ucu on Monday, the one and only @jeremycorbyn 💫

Please come along👇🏻

This isn’t just a fight for 2 jobs. This isn’t just @ULivUCU2 fight. This is about disreputable practices in the sector. It’s everyone’s fight.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

I know its exhausting & like you I’m very tired but we have come too far to stop now. Together I know we have the courage, stamina & sledge hammer determination to see this through. I will not accept a Gov’t that has no comprehension of right & wrong. Let me know you are with me

Higher education is under threat. Students an afterthought in government Covid plans. University responds by threatening staff redundancies. We stood together on Saturdays Rally to protect our academic community. #reclaimouruniversity #noredundancieschester

[Unite at the University of Sheffield @UniteUoS]

The campus trade unions have entered an internal dispute with @sheffielduni over plans to close the Dept. of Archaeology.
This is just the latest in a series of attacks on staff jobs, terms and conditions by the University.

Unite members - consultative ballots arrive today!

[Royal College of Art UCU ✊ @RcaUcu]

Hi @AngelaRayner seeing that the @UKLabour is interested in challenging bogus self-employment & the diminishing of employment rights, would you like to say anything about the @RCA and their current proposals?
