@Ryanair what’s the point of telling everyone to arrive 3 hours before a flight if your bag drop desks don’t open until 2 hours before? Been standing in a queue with young children for over an hour because we followed your advice.

Over half of staff are reporting signs of depression

4 in 5 staff are struggling with workload

68% of research academics are on fixed term contracts

We don't need awareness days, we need action

#UniMentalHealthDay

[UCU @ucu]

It's DAY 6 of UK wide strike action, as staff at 68 universities walk out

We want proper pay rises, an end to the use of insecure contracts & meaningful action on workloads & equality pay gaps

AND for bosses to stop their pension attacks

The USS trustee has now confirmed that UCU's pension proposals are viable

Time is running out to protect pension benefits and avert widespread strikes, due to start Monday

Vice chancellors, are you listening?

Not. Just. Lecturers.

[Paddy McCann ☘️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇺🇦 @paddymcc]

And our pensions continue to be attacked. And every time, our concerns are ignored until we strike. #UCUstrike

[Paddy McCann ☘️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇺🇦 @paddymcc]

I’m taking part in #UCUstrike this week as part of @ucustandrews. I’m lucky enough to have a permanent contract and a manageable workload (I’m not an academic), but I see the impact of casualisation and excessive workloads on the researchers I work with.

[Paddy McCann ☘️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇺🇦 @paddymcc]

While I don’t have the casualisation and workload issues of others striking this week, I have worked in the sector for 13 years and have seen below inflation pay awards for almost all of that time. #UCUstrike

@HiveHelper Hi, one of the 5 TRVs which arrived this morning doesn’t work - it won’t pair. Other 4 are fine. Have tried taking it off and moving closer to hub, and performed several factory resets. Can I get a replacement?

[Paddy McCann ☘️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇺🇦 @paddymcc]

@MicrosoftTeams I've turned off notifications for a channel, but still getting them. Toggled on and off a few times now. The setting is showing correctly across Mac, iOS and web but notifications are still showing on all 3. Also getting emails about ignored notifications. Advice?
