Pleased to announce Oldham College UCU has officially accepted a 22/23 pay deal. Inclusive of a groundbreaking series of workload principles developed with @MarieMonaghan10 to see some real change to the conditions and worklife balance of teaching staff. @UCU_OLDHAM @nw_ucu

It’s not you…it’s me

[Emma Timmins UCU Branch Chairperson @eltd1985]

This is not about FE. But the stories are familiar. The tears are just fresh on our faces, the crisis is just as real for us as for them. UCUOldham stands in solidarity with NEU. @MarieMonaghan10 @nw_ucu @UCU_OLDHAM

300,000 teachers are on strike today. Why?

📉 Real pay down by 23% since 2010

📖 Devastating austerity cuts to school budgets

👩‍🏫 Stress, exhaustion and unbearable workloads amid a retention and recruitment crisis

RT if you're with our teachers 👊

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Today, 500,000 workers are taking historic strike action.

They are striking for decent pay. They are striving for social justice. They are fighting for us all.

Ultimately, Trade Unions work and that is exactly why the Tories are going after them.

Strap in, we’re going on a ride from Westminster to the Isle of Man. This is the story of Michelle Mone and that £29m.

While I don't often agree with tabloid media, this I agree with wholeheartedly. Huge respect for what you do.

@RMTunion Worth every penny he's a legend. Can't say that about many making that kinda money.

[Emma Timmins UCU Branch Chairperson @eltd1985]

@DrJoGrady Omg yesssss!! But we'd need Xxxl!

[Emma Timmins UCU Branch Chairperson @eltd1985]

@DrJoGrady We loved, the strawbs, part of the union. When they attempted to threaten us with dismissal for taking legal industrial action.
Also simply red, money's too tight to mention,Destiny child, bills bills bills. Good luck HE, Hold the line✊

[Emma Timmins UCU Branch Chairperson @eltd1985]

@UCUManCollege Looks like 98% is the magic number! Fingers crossed for sensible offers we can take to our members in the near future. 🤞🍀.

[Emma Timmins UCU Branch Chairperson @eltd1985]

@Maxine4UCUVP @DrJoGrady @ucu That poor student and family! However he did kinda prove our point. Inconsistent lecturers and chaos on courses is likely due to stress, sickness, mental health and resignation of their poorly treated, poorly paid lecturers, the exact issue we are trying to solve. Blame VPs!

[👑GiGi🧜🏼‍♀️Frampton 🎏 @CarlitosGirl]
