Today, 50 fellow parliamentarians and I have written to @UCEA1.
We are urging them to rethink - and end - their recommendation of a 50-100% wage cut during @UCU's marking and assessment boycott.
Reminder 🖐 Our 3rd Reading Group tomorrow 11:00am Tarset Village Hall. We will read from Ingrid Pollard's 'Seventeen of Sixty Eight' and 'The Hundreds' by @listonkate and @Tess_D_C ⭐ No advanced reading required !
Our picket lines made it onto Politics North. Even the Tory MP Robert Goodwill had to acknowledge that VCs need to get around the table. @ChiOnwurah was very clear about the importance of a knowledge economy and the problems of precarity. @UCUNUbranch
