Last month, I was offered a TA job at a Russell Group uni, teaching 5 seminars a week. The pay was £15.76 weighted to £23 per seminar. I.e. £1.5k per term/£3k per year to retain the services of a qualified, experienced academic to teach students paying £9k+. #ucuRISING#UCUstrike

Arabic, British Sign Language, Canadian French, Doric, English, Gaelic, German, Orcadian, Punjabi, Scots, Urdu, Welsh and Zimbabwean Shona... Fun day at the swearing-in ceremony at the Scottish Parliament!
