UCU Scotland 'Universities in crisis' Rally this Wed 29 Jan, 12.30 for 1pm outside Scottish Parliament. Rally against job cuts & for a budget for higher education. Speakers incl @NUSScotland@ScottishTUC@willie_rennie@GlasgowPam@Ross_Greer & branches fighting job cuts #SaveHE
Amazing solidarity at the UniteUCU Fringe talking to #ucu2024 delegates about our strike on Thursday.
Unite negotiators can meet our employer anytime to resolve this dispute & allow critical UCU sector conferences to go ahead.
#ReclaimUCU#AFairerFutureForAll
Today #UCUCongress24 begins but the very serious trade dispute (including issues of racism, H&S, breach of recognition agreement, organisational change) lodged by @UniteUCU has not yet been resolved - so tmw's industrial sector conferences won't happen.

Are you great with mapping and data visualisation? Can you squeeze data out of HERs? Do you love Roman stuff and dream about votive deposition? Then this could be the job for you. Come work with me on an AHRC/DFG funded project for a year. https://t.co/e5LOfTDtFD
Please @DrJoGrady, sort it out with @UniteUCU so we can have our Congress!?! It's embarrassing.
It is terrible that our staff are having to threaten/take strike action. It should never have gotten to this point.
Solidarity with @UniteUCU.
This week's rally for ceasefire was up @DurEncampment outside Durham Cathedral.
One our members @aliceefi addressed the gathering:
"This is a really powerful anti-colonial learning space and we as staff are learning from you here."
