Staff at 48 HE institutions are currently facing redundancies and restructures.

We cannot just let it happen.

Open meeting on Monday 👇 on building resistance.

[UCU @ucu]

The latest cut to arts funding is yet another assault on higher education.

The creative arts is becoming the preserve of the rich, while the working class get shut out.

We need full levels of subject support reinstated.

Our GS @DrJoGrady's letter to @GillianKeegan👇

[UCU @ucu]

We have today written to the university employer body UUK calling on them to review their UK-Israel research partnership scheme – in line with legal and ethical obligations to avoid any complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

[Paul W Fleming @paulwfleming]

Employee assistance schemes just try to mask bad boss behaviour.

We ended @EquityUK’s (little used) contract with Health Assured in 2021 for that reason

The BBC report isn’t the first red flag, & raises qs for @SpotlightUK who partnered with HA in Feb

Show your support for workers developing Broadway's future hits!

@EquityUK's sister union on stage in the USA is fighting to advance their development contract. Show @ActorsEquity some solidarity and sign their petition!

[Amy Ryall @amy_ryall]

Northumbria is a massive university success story that does not match its business model. If the latter rather than the former is valued, the seemingly inevitable happens as UNIVERSITIES ARE NOT BUSINESSES. 😬

Solidarity with all staff @UCUNbranch This should not be happening.

[Amy Ryall @amy_ryall]

No. We must not.

[Equity @EquityUK]

📢RESULTS ARE IN:

100% of ballots returned by our members in the @E_N_O chorus vote YES to strike action.

We cannot accept a 40% cut to their pay.

First day of strike action is 1st February.

[Paul W Fleming @paulwfleming]

I have this afternoon authorised a series of strikes & other action at the English National Opera.

Cuts in pay, job losses- it’s shows who the bosses think opera is for.

@EquityUK is clear: opera is for everyone, & the workplace must be open to all.

I have just resigned from the @ESRC @UKRI_News peer review committee and refused to review a grant proposal. See @ucu call. The ones who will suffer the most are my peers doing amazing job. But we need to restore some integrity and push back on gov interference
