Love to all current & past UCU #USS negotiators & every striking+MABing member: true team effort! Sticking together works. I know from experience in JNC the difference members' backing makes to our ability to make headway in those painstaking, detailed negotiations #DefendUSS
On Women & Pensions I spoke to pension gaps deriving from intersecting pay gaps & precarious employment and the importance of @UCU’s fight to #DefendUSS -saving our defined benefits & securing offer of restoration & lowered contributions through 5+ yrs of industrial action🪧🪧 >>
Over 5 years of industrial action and #DefendUSS and we got a win! Except that what we really got was what we should have had all along…
The fight continues over:
✅ Pay
✅ Equality
✅ Anti-cas
Solidarity comrades, see you on the picket line 🪧
5+ years of industrial action to #DefendUSS
Striking in blizzards & rain
Lengthy, painstaking (painful!) negotiations
As a former SWG chair & negotiator: members won this through successive ballot mandates & hard hitting action that backed negotiators to the hilt #UnionStrong
5) Pensions. As someone who ❤️ numbers 👨💻, that @USSpensions would base huge cuts to pensions on a March 2020 valuation of assets (I kid you not!)- was baffling. Mine was cut by ~50% (£200,000+). Their continuing reluctance to review this decision is scandalous. #DefendUSS
And today we walk OUT!
150 universities, huge mandate, because #EnoughIsEnough!
We demand decency at work, and in retirement!
Heads up high everyone

In SMASHING news, *all three* campus unions at the University of Leeds have a mandate for industrial action - oh yes, #EnoughIsEnough!

Brilliantly clear explanation of what the last week has meant for #USS - from our lovely @leedsucu pensions officer Mark ⬇️
#DefendUSS and put your ballots in the post! #ucuRISING #UnionStrong @ucu
We've heard in the last week that DB pensions funds were at very near risk of collapse. Why is this, and how has it affected our hybrid DB/DC scheme in HE – the USS? Mini-thread.
So there is some good news today ⬇️
Big question is who will we get in his place…& he’s not gone yet
Best thing any @UCU member in #USS can do right now is still:
🗳 Post your ballots
💜#VoteYES
💖Keep encouraging colleagues to do the same

@UM_UCU @UCU_YSJ
University of Leeds announces a 100% pay deduction for participation in the marking boycott. We believe this is punitive and will respond accordingly. Come to the EGM at 12 tomorrow (see email sent today for link) and read our guidance here: https://t.co/91oxaGvTxw

I don't think anyone in @ucu would fall for this, not after the Joint Expert Panel fiasco. At the time, I thought that was a genuine thing, & UCU experts put a huge amount of effort into it. More fool me. #DefendUSS and support #UCUstrike! #OneOfUsAllOfUs
Fair enough.
But I hope the V-Cs appreciate that "let's all stand down while a panel sorts this out" is not a solution we can work with, because that's exactly what we agreed to in 2018, and the USS Board then flat-out ignored that panel and carried on much as before. #UCUstrike
As ever, really helpful explanation of the #USSmess from @ucu pensions negotiator @Sam_Marsh101> Watch this (~30 mins) for summary and latest news.
#DefendUSS join the #UCUstrikes
#OneOfUsAllOfUs
Another of the gorgeous @ucu #dogsonpicketlines (with a very fine human also of course!) Nobody could cross a doggy picket line...

🐾Cleo is a 5 month old puppy dog and honorary @UcuYork member
🪧Cleo understands employers could’ve entirely avoided the #UCUstrikes by engaging with @ucu respectfully + agreeing our v reasonable + workable demands
💜Cleo’s humans + comrades deserve better
#OneOfUsAllOfUs @ucu
Morning @leedsucu - hope you're having fun at your Parkysteps @UniversityLeeds rally just now - lots of singing in the rain? I'm guessing "Level 13 can you hear us, we want our pensions back"... #defendUSS

Roses are red
Their leaves are green
Let's make the biggest picket lines
They've ever seen
#DefendUSS #ValentinesPickets #OneOfUsAllOfUs #HoldTheLine
Hello @leedsucu friends, looks like I'll be waving a placard with you again soon (thinking of making one that says "Retired but still angry"...) #DefendUSS #FourFights #OneOfUsAllOfUs SOLIDARITY! 💪💕
BREAKING: 68 universities will face up to 10 days of UK wide strikes starting in February
There is still time to prevent disruption, but employers need to drop their pension cuts & take long-overdue action on pay & conditions

@zenscara @ucu Hello London! Looks like an amazing march. Love from Leeds (@leedsucu) - we're feeling energised and ever more determined after our (very noisy) rally today. We can win these disputes!
