By 2pm today, January 5th, the CEOs of the FTSE 100 companies had been paid more than the average worker earns in a year.
At 3pm the government announced legislation to potentially allow those CEOs to sack workers who take lawful action to win a fair deal at work.
Sickening.
Happy to see our UCU branch taking an unflinching stance against transphobia. Transphobia like all oppressive ideologies should not have access to a stage or a megaphone. We encourage everyone to insist on our rights, as a community, to decide what deserves a space on our campus.
To put in context multi millionaire Nadhim Zahawi threatening nurses & ambulance paramedics with bringing in soldiers to break their strike, it’s worth remembering his expenses claim which included heating his horses’ stables was more than a nurse on starting pay is asking for.
Zahawi thinks unions are ruining Christmas.
RT if you are sick of the Tories ruining every day of the year.
Millions using foodbanks, in poverty, huge debt, unable to pay bills and a cruel mental health crisis.
We don’t need the army. We need an election.
#EnoughIsEnough
You can’t get time back
Like the time you were ill from overwork
Like the time you missed weekends with loved ones cos of workload
Like the time spent on insecure contracts unable to put down roots
We can’t get back time, but we can get change
That’s why we strike #ucuRISING
Tomorrow thousands of UCU members and supporters will be in London for the biggest rally in the unions history
Let me know in the replies where you are coming from
We need this to be massive. Bring friends, family, pets, neighbours, people you don’t like (VCs)
#ucuRISING
Excellent meeting w/ @ScottishLabour Cllrs yesterday re the crisis arts & culture orgs face.
By focusing on mere survival, we're - as @chriswkane said - "stripping away our souls in the communities."
We need a recovery plan for our arts & culture sector & support to our councils.
Fearing Monday blues after #ucuRISING week?
1) Hold your head high
2) Not all branches are in national bargaining. Support @UcuUsic strike tomorrow in the private sector, & @bcu_ucu where we are balloting outside of national bargaining.
3) Build for biggest day yet Wednesday ✊🏼
