Management said they'd deduct 100% of pay.

UCU branch declared 3.5 weeks of strike action in response.

Management are now making 0% deductions.

@eitn_journal Brilliant to see this CALL FOR PAPERS

[Education In The North @eitn_journal]

🌟CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue Dec 2023-Pedagogy in the North: shifting concepts and common expressions. For more details check out https://t.co/Ak7Q6Rb0Y6

@topherdonaldson @drkellyallen @AcademicChatter #openaccess is the solution. Reviewers and especially editors put in a lot of free work, but there are no publication fees and your work is directly accessible to readers. Don't like the publishing industry? Start sending your best work to OA journals and never turn down a review

[PRiMES @PRiMEScotland]

I love those tasks that lead to surprise! and see one solution in the comments :)

Why am I so angry about what happened at the @USSpensions JNC last week? Because the way #USS concluded the 2020 valuation was not in accordance with the scheme rules and undercut @UCU's influence on the JNC, possibly permanently. You need to know about this. 1/

CONFIRMED: Casualisation weakening academic freedom in UK universities.

I have resigned as External Examiner for postgraduate taught programmes in the Dept of Politics & IR @aberdeenuni in protest against UUK decimation of #USS pensions #USSMess

let's turn this into a groundswell

[UCU Edinburgh @ucuedinburgh]

when @EdinburghUni says they're against structural inequality, it's gaslighting...

#USSMess #FourFights #UCUStrikes Day 9

[Newcastle University UCU newcastleucu.bsky.social @NewcastleUniUCU]

Equality cannot wait. The university has more than enough money to end the pay gaps. We don't need corporate #IWD events, we need the university to commit to breaking down structural inequalities. #strikecomics #FourFights

[Tanya Serisier @TanyaSerisier]

We have negotiated a joint statement that welcomes @ucu proposal, insists on the need for a new valuation, and to work together to resolve this dispute

[Bruce Gray @BucksburnMaths]

Trying to make connections between how we use grids with #s2maths. Pupils familiar with grids for multiplying numbers and single brackets and it was pleasing to see how intuitive many found the jump to double brackets.

If anyone needed more reasons to take strike action... I also found out today Durham Uni hired 7 staff over £100,000 in 2020 whilst I was hourly paid + then unpaid over Summer, unsure if I'd have any teaching hours for 2020/21 - https://t.co/ldkUM5ozqW

🔥✊🏽📢SUCCESS!✊🏽🔥📢

After years of campaigning, all our language tutors and senior language tutors have been regraded up one grade (5➡️6, 6➡️7).

The deal isn't perfect, with obstacles in the way of further promotion and additions to job descriptions, but (S)LTs happy with it.
