Stop these cruel and unnecessary cuts!

The poll commissioned by Reform was paid for by dodgy money.

This poll said union members were backing reform.

UCU commissioned our own poll and overwhelming members rejected that lie.

Get Farage and his fake working class act out of politics.

[UCU @ucu]

Sadly this is not unique. The sector has to change, and the government can’t keep using ‘autonomy’ as an excuse for not making it change.

We cannot keep losing so many amazing and dedicated staff. Staff deserve better and students deserve better.

Cardiff University has embarked on “the next phase of professional services transformation activity"

Or cutting jobs

University senior management have wasted huge amounts on eye wateringly expensive consultants when they are already employing world leading experts on all aspects of running organisations in house. It's time to put an end to this reckless wastefulness.

"Everything's collapsed & we’re over budget. It's an absolute Vice Chancellor”

"Not just a failure, he's a VC -- slow, expensive, pointless"

"Only thing delivered is disappointment. Proper VC"

"There’s a big crater, we've been VC-ed"

"It won't work, everything is VC-ed up"

Think a number of individual members have sent something too. ✊

Cardiff University alumnus speaks about the massive debt that profiteering has caused him and many, many others.

When will government realise the folly that is marketised education and privatised public services? And the toll it takes on people's lives?

Student Senate has formally called on Cardiff University to "open the books" on their deep and risky cuts.

“Carefully evidenced and costed counter proposals from schools have been rejected without reason”

Lots of questions still need answers 🤔

Cardiff Uni Kazakhstan has long been a major worry for us and just keeps getting worse:

"People are really concerned that our executives are gambling on a half-cooked CUK while halfway through a chaotic restructuring and teaching crisis back at home”

@qm_ucu @QMUL This is outrageous - how do these bigwigs sleep at night??

[Queen Mary UCU @qm_ucu]

Where is the money?

@qmul haven't paid many cleaners their overtime since August; unions haven’t had their Facilities Time paid since August; many Teaching Associates & Teaching Fellows have not had any pay in September. All since the new financial year.

[Cardiff UCU✊🌱 @CardiffUCU]

Big up our friends in Leicester! Standing strong against management incompetence and short-sightedness. Redundancies are unnecessary and just fiddling while Rome burns - we need fundamental change in the funding system! All power to @leicesterucu ✊

[Leicester UCU @leicesterucu]

Staff and students came together early on a Friday morning to show their support before negotiations.
The negotiations did not lift the threat of compulsory redundancies, so we'll be on strike again in the coming week.
