TY to our employers for alerting us that April is National Stress Awareness Month. We have some ideas of what would alleviate our workplace stress - ending precarity, equitable pay, restoring pension benefit cuts & dismantling our cultures of overwork

If you need a lift in spirits this morning - a lovely story. Thanks for sharing

This is NOT how we heal fractures and build solidarity. Not how we build confidence in a common struggle. Not how #AnotherUniversityisPossible. This is not our #ucuRISING
Open letter signed mostly by senior lecturers and professors. How many postgraduates support this stance? The letter shows one out of a couple of hundred.
Thank you to everyone for your support & revolutionary care this week.
Some highlights below. As always rest & restore over the weekend

@AJohnsonHist Hey my brother @AJohnsonHist ...thank you so much for inviting me to speak with @HopkinsMedicine students about campus policing as a public health crisis. If any institution, universities should build out a different system of community safety. #AnotherUniversityIsPossible

Happy Monday @ucu ers! A little something to lift your spirits. Yes, 18 days of strikes is daunting, there's the temptation to shuffle work. Try to resist. Strikes are supposed to be disruptive, withdrawing our labour should make itself felt

We know the announcement of strike dates will bring emotional churn. We all want to do the best we can for our students. If you are having a bit of an existential wobble, talk to a ucu colleague/rep. Generous threads like this can be a lifeline

I can imagine, and understand, that these strike dates will be greeted with a fair amount of shock, surprise, and concern from students and their parents. £9k a year on university fees is a lot. So I want to explain just how much these institutions value students. 1/
Bittersweet is exactly at the beating heart of this celebration & brilliant analysis of teaching & learning @GoldsmithsUoL @BlackBritHistMA Congratulations to all graduates & their amazing teachers ❤️🔥 #anotheruniversityispossible
With the new teaching semester beginning, there can be frazzle & anxiety. There are only so many hours in the day & life is short. As Toni Morrison said "As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think”
#keepdreaming #anotheruniversityispossible
Wishing @ucu colleagues & our students a fun, adventurous & sustaining 2023. We know cultural fault lines will be drawn against workers movements. We send our solidarity to all strikers. With bell hooks we aspire to bring love & joy to our struggles

It's the winter solstice tomorrow & nearing the year's end. What were some of your fav @ucu strike memories over the past 12 months?
The strikes helped to plant new seeds of care, we hope to see them bloom & grow in 2023.
With gratitude to you all

Mick Lych at the @ucu rally for those who couldn't be in London. 1 meaning of rally is to amass, where & how is not the point. We were also buoyed by our colleagues & students who couldn't come - we felt you
