Good morning! We are back after a bit of a social media hiatus. We held our AGM last week, and alongside our exec committee we would love for more people to get involved. There are lots of roles available, including Comms officer, Black members' officer, Women's Officer and reps
The government took a big and important step last week with support for employed workers.
It’s only right that they quickly follow this with a similar level of support for the self-employed. https://t.co/GyxxqUiYsA
Good morning @SouthamptonUCU.
This is going to be the first full week of home working for many of you, with home schooling and caring duties for some.
Solidarity to you all and remember – social distancing & safety practices save lives!
Stay safe & email us for any concern 📧
Be part of the national effort to reduce the spread of coronavirus. Be responsible & keep your child at home.
Thank you to all the school staff going in this morning to look after the children of our most critical workers.💜

Great news 👇! We really hope that @unisouthampton's management will take the same steps to guarantee pay for staff working on precarious & insecure contracts, for the duration of this difficult situation we are all going through #COVIDー19@SotonUniUnison
We're very pleased to have helped #Research today. #TargetLung was asked to pass (healthy) lung tissue on for new treatment approaches & research into COVID19, ATII primary cells. Requested at 13.20, sample provided at 16.00 #WhyWeDoResearch@UHSFT @RDsouthampton #BetterTogether
The lack of consultation with us has been very noticeable. Whilst we appreciate the huge efforts going into keeping the University going & doing the right thing for students, we have had very worried members contacting us. #workingfromhome#SickPayForAll#noPPE#disparity
➡️ Following requests from campus Trade Unions, we'll be meeting the University's management soon concerning the response to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
Please send us any concern/question/clarification that you'd like us to raise in the meeting.
🚨The University has just communicated to students that all teaching and academic support for the remainder of this academic year will be delivered online.
Trade Unions had not been informed earlier, or consulted about its implementation and implications
In this crucial time for our community, University's management should urgently consult Unions in future planning around short- & long-term implications of COVID19's outbreak. We are still waiting for a meeting date/time to discuss a range of important points...
@SotonUniUnison
Obscene.
This is a public health emergency.
Not a business opportunity for shoddy private healthcare chums to profiteer from distress.
It’s time to take back these beds for the NHS. Rent-free.
