'Brand engagement' and 'student acquisition '. Would anyone imagine an applicant might be looking for an education? This is what is wrong with UK HE. https://t.co/72atCr7J4t

Let's show that the amazing solidarity of the #USSstrike extends to our outsourced colleagues.

If you can, please donate to IWGB's strike fund for precarious, migrant workers' action in just a few weeks' time. £2047 away from the target! https://t.co/TG9vDPrl1I

For next person to say 'But DC is the norm in the private sector':

I came to academia to NOT be in private sector.
I could have made a LOT of money writing advertizing jingles.
I don't get private sector pay or perks
I just want to eat & have roof in lead up to death. That OK?

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Potentially a gratuitous self RT, but cautionary lesson from the junior doctors dispute in this thread still relevant. This recent #USS proposal a massive advance, but not good enough. Let UUK spend Easter coming up with something acceptable. If they don’t, we strike again. https://t.co/wiNOH9qCEZ

Thread to my fellow @ucu members on what #USSstrikes have won, why we should accept this offer, but also prepare ourselves to fight harder (or why, when people focus on the offer’s loopholes, they are missing a bigger picture):

"Since you didn't like the excrement, here is a new offer."
"What a beautiful box!... But it is empty inside. What will go inside?"
"We don't know yet. Will you take it or leave It?"
"Umm..."

Result of consultative ballot of SOAS UNISON #USS members: 95.2% REJECTION of @UniversitiesUK proposed changes to the USS scheme. Turnout: 60%. Members will now be formally balloted for industrial action to #DefendUSS alongside @UCUSOAS. #solidarity #USSstrike

@davidadger @fiona_jordan 🤷‍♀️(I have a horrible feeling the Nov valuation IS the status quo we’d be agreeing to)

[linnaea stockall is ... @linnaea]

@davidadger @fiona_jordan this postpones the decision on what pension scheme USS offers, but does nothing to delay the June 30th tPR deadline, which is the dangerous one

No snow!! Definitely a week to volunteer 😆 https://t.co/0LgC2HhuWF

If universities "manage without" externals this year, then none of us should ever external ever again. Either it's essential or it's not. https://t.co/RPq1Lx81Jr

[Lee Jones @DrLeeJones]

The president of @UniversitiesUK doubles down: tries to cut pensions for entire sector; now tries to sack 220+ of her own academic staff! https://t.co/kPMgkkKyLa

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

It is absolutely right that the Govt is raising pay for #NHS workers, though it's long overdue and not as much as they deserve.

But what about teachers, police and the armed forces?

It's time all public sector workers were given a serious pay boost.

[linnaea stockall is ... @linnaea]

@Christianilbury No. Optimism never fades. Although I do also put the date, knowing full well I’ll need to distinguish between FINAL-08/2017 and FINAL-03/2018.
