Impossible not to notice the #HeartUnions stall organised by @ucu & @unisontheunion at South Essex College today for staff & students. Every worker needs a union card in their pocket but it's especially true for young workers. Joining a union can be a life-saver and a way of life

Strike ballot opened at University of East Anglia.

Almost one in six staff put at risk of redundancy.

The Open University's use fire and rehire is shocking and calls into question the values of the institution

"We urge them to reconsider...or face the threat of industrial action." @oubucu branch president, Peter Wood 👇

“Placating banks and the financiers is more important than staff livelihoods and jobs,” Nick Grant, @UEA_UCU co-chair.

Shocking fire and rehire scheme at The Open University 🚨

Forcing 160 lectures to accept lower pay is unacceptable 👇

"It is a very serious situation because everyone is worried if they get away with it once, then they will do it again" @oubucu

“Endemic” #casualisation is “a choice, not a necessity”, says @ucu: union ranks institutions on efforts to better support precarious workforce, and finds most failing to get to grips with the issue

Organising isn’t just about political events it’s also about being part of your College community. The annual quiz at Suffolk New College is a brilliant example of that. Here is the fabulous Nadia who runs the quiz, assisted this year by ⁦@DrJoGrady⁩ as quizmaster.

[UCU @ucu]

We did this✊

[UCU @ucu]

Staff have been forced to pay the price for UEA’s financial crisis.

Yet the leader responsible has walked away with a £97k pay off. Disgraceful.

The government is attacking UCU members. Please RT this thread.

Over the weekend a UK secretary of state used Twitter to attack and misrepresent academics.

This intervention was made to call into the question the legitimacy of work undertaken by the UK research institute.
