Fashion, clothing and what it means. Stories of unworn garments, 3D fashion design, the body and the garment. Sizing issues and their subsequent implications.

Surely this is not how UCU should treat its staff. In solidarity with these Unite members

[Unite UCU @UniteUCU]

Regrettably the redundancy notices issued to our two members who lead UCU's #PGRsAsStaff campaign leads have not, as of this evening, been withdrawn. We were left with no option but to open our consultative ballot on taking action.

We urge members to vote yes.

@CindyDmello_ Hi Cindy, sorry, I'm at a conference in Glasgow. What do you want to interview me about?

[Dr Kathryn Brownbridge @Katbrownbridge]

@lucyburkeMcr extremely helpful analysis. Thanks to all concerned. @manmetucu members, I'm reading this and asking questions before I vote in the current e-ballot. #UCUrising

Evicted by bailiffs from an occupied UoM building at 6am, down to support @UM_UCU @ucu on the pickets at 8am!

Students and staff are fighting the marketisation of higher education together ✊

[Dr Kathryn Brownbridge @Katbrownbridge]

Why would any employer keep the amazing @alicebrockway on a precarious contract. Rockin' it Alice. @manmetucu #ucuRISING

[Dr Kathryn Brownbridge @Katbrownbridge]

Yes, @lucyburkeMcr it is amazing to be part of a union with you. @manmetucu #ucuRISING @UM_UCU

@manmetucu and @UM_UCU making this day count. #UCU #UCUstrike #ucuRISING

[KCL UCU @KCL_UCU]

Sky News came to KCL UCU pickets today. And we gave a message to every employer:

📈reverse the 30% real pay cuts since 2010 + restore pensions
🟰end the 18% gender + race pay gaps, now
🎓stop forcing staff to reapply for their jobs every year
🗳️make our universities democratic

[Karl McLaughlin @KarlKmc]

This pigeon must have confused picket with peck it and is having a piece of cake on the @manmetucu line today. Will it tweet about it later? 🤔 @ucu

Such a well considered thread from @manmetucu chair @lucyburkeMcr #ucuRISING

[Dr Kathryn Brownbridge @Katbrownbridge]

@lucyburkeMcr Excellent thread Lucy, said with consideration and compassion. Surely this approach is possible. Let's work together to change the culture of our union. Discuss, listen, debate, decide, unite.

[Dr Kathryn Brownbridge @Katbrownbridge]

@BuczkowskiB Beautiful Bartek. ❤

[Karl McLaughlin @KarlKmc]

@ucu According to BBC this morning, members meet to discuss 'breakthrough offer' by universities. Have I missed something overnight or is this a deliberate attempt to influence HEC by briefing the media with a positive spin on most have said is not a breakthrough?

[Dr Kathryn Brownbridge @Katbrownbridge]

@lucyburkeMcr Absolutely Lucy. Treat our members with the respect they deserve.

[Dr Kathryn Brownbridge @Katbrownbridge]

@ShirinHirsch @ucu Yep I hear you @ShirinHirsch
