Great teach out this morning. Yoga means union: union of mind and body and UCU and it’s members. Even more ready for the fight. @ucu@ucuedinburgh#ucuRSING
Senior management at @EdinburghUni should be hanging their heads in shame. What a way to treat anybody. They need to break their silence and take action on this now!

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people.
Sound efficient?

This right here! 👇 Not just why would we want to, some simply don't have the luxury of being able to afford to. EDI committees take note...working conditions are an EDI issue!! #UCU#AcademicTwitter
People talk all the time about diversity and getting diverse people into the academy but why would minorities and marginalised people want to put themselves through an even tougher path in life. Finding a safe house share is SO HARD for marginalised people.
@LNER These adverts won't increase your passenger numbers. Try reducing fares. Insane that at a time when carbon reduction is most urgent, it's cheaper to drive or even fly in this country.
