If you're in Cambridge today, look out for the moving @CambridgeUCU protestors as they cycle between colleges and departments to lobby open day attendees about the exploitative use of casualised staff at @Cambridge_Uni

[Cambridge UCU @CambridgeUCU]

Great to have Guardian coverage of our protests TODAY (4th). It's time for real change for casualised staff at Cambridge! Join us to start our slow cycle at the UL 11:20am or find us enroute around the open day.

Do you work when on annual leave, do you use annual leave when you are unwell, do you take work home with you? If so, please complete a quick survey on #Leaveism and help a colleague @UCU_HWUBranch - https://t.co/qyvQJPhVXC

A sobering article which reveals a worrying increase in mental health issues among HE staff . Workload issues must be tackled as a priority.

The one thing this has shown is that it is possible to beat the anti-trade union legislation passed by this government

UCU's Moray McAulay said: 'We are pleased the university has belatedly ruled out compulsory redundancies. This dispute should act as a warning to universities not to rush into making dangerous knee-jerk decisions' https://t.co/zvgvceNUau

Happy to announce that we have suspended next week's actions following @_UoW agreement to rule out compulsory redundancies

This thread shows *so clearly* how a university can spin an austerity narrative out of capital over-expenditure and poor financial planning.

[Keele UCU @KeeleUCU]

Welcome back to #savekeele thread no. 2. So far: The university's financial woes are down to a £70m debt mountain. Not staff costs (whuch are falling), not tuition fees (which are rising), not the demographic dip (which keele has escaped). So how did we get here? @Kathie_McInnes

[Lucy Hannaford @LucyHannaford1]

“We must challenge the dangerous narrative that equates success with the level of a graduate’s income and which reduces education to a financial transaction. ... we risk losing the next generation of artists and all that they contribute to our wellbeing and society” #saveUCAstaff

“We are shocked that a member of academic staff from Soas could be involved with a party like this which stands for policies utterly incompatible with the values of diversity, tolerance and internationalism at the very heart of Soas as an institution.” https://t.co/mlfkPgN7vS
