I am being told by the media that students don’t support our strikes! If you are a student and back UCU members taking action please reply. It would be a HUGE boost to our members.

Students 🤝 Staff

Paramedics will be on strike for the first time on Wednesday

If you support striking NHS workers please reply with a 💙.

Here's a thing: @SheffieldUni is wealthier than ever (£140m net cash generated in the last year alone), yet starting lecturer salaries are now 14% lower in RPI-real terms than in 1998 (with a pension around half as good)! Mind-boggling how institutions have let this happen.

@NickWal27726691 @RichardJMurphy Riots and disorder is exactly what it will take.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Rishi Sunak has claimed that to pay a 10% pay rise to all public sector employees will cost each household in the UK £1,000. This is what I call CRAp - which stands for a ‘completely rubbish approximation’ to the truth. Let me explain…a thread…

I NEED EVERY FOLLOWER TO RT THIS

Your local postie is facing the most important week ever.

They are facing intimidation, threats and bullying from an out of control management team.

They will strike for 2 days to save the service and their jobs.

Are you with them?

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

I am asking all of my followers to RT this thread so as many people as possible know the truth about the Royal Mail Group strikes and how our members are facing a vicious attack #StandByYourPost

General Secretary @DaveWardGS completely exposing Royal Mail Group on GB News this morning #StandByYourPost

We have lost over 700 followers today. Clearly something is going on with Twitter. And at a time when our postal and telecom workers need support like never before.

Please RT this, follow us and help get the message out there.

RT IF YOU ARE A STRIKING UNIVERSITY WORKER, POSTIE, TEACHER OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE PICKET LINE TODAY.

ALSO RT IF YOU BACK THEM.

Let’s cut beyond the media and show people they have mass support.

@MrSteThompson @NeilsonGAllison @DrJoGrady @ucu @AbertayUni The service provider is the University, not individual lecturers, so you need to complain to the Uni and ask why they don’t provide the kinds of working conditions staff need.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

CAN ALL UCU MEMBERS PLEASE RT THIS THREAD - WHAT A DAY

Firstly - I have to say well done to every single member and representative of the UCU.

I saw your tweets and messages from 05000 and we are still going now.

I’m on Newsnight at 2230.

@DrJoGrady If they withdraw 100% pay for ASOS, then why not go on strike altogether?

[Dr Nick Jones (no DLC) @nphjones]

feels very risky/stupid posting this, but it took me quite a while to put a strike email together for my students, and I figured it'd be good to share the FAQ bit and let other @ucu members adapt it or scoff at it as they see fit

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD.

University bosses are rattled. Across the UK they are threatening UCU members with unfair and immoral pay deductions if they take part in action short of striking. This thread exposes every single one of them

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER TO RETWEET THIS

We are hearing that Vice Chancellors are asking UCU members if they plan to take strike action next week.

They have no right to do this and you do not have to answer them.

They are hitting the panic button. Stand strong.

@PaulWilbooks @Rox_Douglas_ @ucu Perhaps VC and other pointless SMT salaries should be £24,000 per year - that would solve a whole bunch of problems, from salary costs right through to not drawing in macho management types who model themselves as the next Elon Musk as soon as they are on the VC's throne.

[UCU @ucu]

Our members dedicate their lives to teaching and supporting students but we're at breaking point.

The system is broken. It's not built for students and it's not built for staff.
