Our employer has now been sent official notification by @UniteTheUnion of our intention to ballot for industrial action over cuts to the #PGRsAsStaff Campaign post.

Management refuses to maintain as 1 FTE a new position being offered to the staff affected.

@uniofbrighton @PrixPictet @ProfRJaspal Meet Jelena. Worked here for 23 years, been a Deputy Head of School, launched some of the best Linguistics and Language courses in the UK.

Our VC wants to make Jelena redundant.

Hands off! The uni is shut until every job is safe! #SaveBrightonUni|#BoycottBrightonUni|#ucuRISING

Kate is an incredible tutor and I would fight forever to save her job. Please retweet: let’s stop this systematic dismantling of the arts and humanities @jeremycorbyn

[Unite UCU @UniteUCU]

Regrettably the redundancy notices issued to our two members who lead UCU's #PGRsAsStaff campaign leads have not, as of this evening, been withdrawn. We were left with no option but to open our consultative ballot on taking action.

We urge members to vote yes.

Incarceration completely inappropriate for a late term abortion for a woman isolated under lockdown: also harms her children & others seeking reproductive care.

And where is our VC? So far, refusing to talk… but still time to turn this around @UniversityLeeds.

Let’s meet and negotiate, as we have requested.

[Leeds University UCU @leedsucu]

Three days before before UCU members at @UniversityLeeds start *indefinite strike action* caused by senior management’s mishandling of the dispute over pay, casualisation, workloads and equal pay ⏰3️⃣🚨🪧

📽️Video of Saturday's march and demo, fighting against 120+ redundancies at @uniofbrighton

Amazing speeches from current students! The message is clear:

These job cuts must be stopped🛑
@debrahumphris has got to go👋

This is a must-watch✊

[Vicky Blake UCU @vickyblake.bsky.social @zenscara]

We need to model the working practices we fight for in post-16 education. @UCUPostgrads have supported the development of organising power & confidence of so many PGRs & their branches. Their organising model is the future of our union.
So I'm heartbroken to see this news /1

[Dr Rhian Elinor Keyse (she/her) @drrhianelinor]

When these posts were recruited, I was co-chair of @UCUAnti_Cas, as a committee we wrote to the GS asking why these needed to be 24 month contracts. We didn't receive a satisfactory answer, just that the work was time limited (if casualisation could be fixed in 22 months...)
