[@SOAS] University Docks Pay From Lecturer for Strike While He Was Having Heart Surgery

Punitive? Vindictive? Union-busting? Negligent? Callous? Grossly incompetent?

All of the above?

A questionnaire for all those MABing 👇👇👇

[UCU @ucu]

If you've suffered deductions from your salary for taking part in the marking and assessment boycott please complete this questionnaire.

https://t.co/faVg9bfGLk

We will use the information to assess whether we have enough to pursue a breach of contract claim.

[UK HE News @HigherEd_UK]

Among the pathologies of the UK HE system is the way in which its hypercentralisation deflects responsibility from indivudal VCs. This ability to hide one's failure behind "sector wide" issues, is attractive to not only the greedy and incompetent, but also the cowardly.

A new low. Latest attack on university Humanities & Social Sciences courses comes with England's first African-British Professor of History threatened with redundancy and termination oF university's courses in African history @UWankings @hakimadi1 https://t.co/NHfw7kKkeh

[KCL UCU Waterloo @UcuWaterloo]

We received an email from @KingsCollegeLon on the 'encouraging news' of #USS valuation.

No mention about wrong #USS assumptions and how these have been reversed thanks to #UCU pressure. Let's remember it - solidarity and well done to everyone striking! #ucuRISING

[KCL UCU Waterloo @UcuWaterloo]

We hope to see more of these student-staff solidarity actions across universities and at KCL! @liberatekcl @occupation_hub

#ucuRISING

[UCU @ucu]

🚨646 University of York students call for their Vice Chancellor to do more to help settle the dispute.

These students firmly “stand with those participating in the MAB.”

Students know that the blame lies with university bosses.

[Sussex UCU @sussexucu]

Seeing students continue to stand in solidarity with us is so touching ❤️

Taking action is always a last resort. We've been telling our employers about the crisis in higher education for years now.

It's on @UCEA1 to settle this dispute round the negotiating table. #ucuRISING

[KCL UCU Waterloo @UcuWaterloo]

Solidarity to all #ucu members for the last five years of fighting and striking - our pressure is working!

The fight on pay, precarity, and inequality goes on #ucuRISING

[UCU @ucu]

🚨BREAKING

We can confirm that USS is £7.4bn in surplus, and we are on track to restore  UCU members pensions and significantly reduce the cost of their monthly contributions

We’ll use the coming months to ensure employers fulfil their obligations

Your action did this 💪

[KCL UCU Waterloo @UcuWaterloo]

The Vice-chancellor @EdinburghUni spent £13k on business class flights to represent the university.

He has a £400k salary, same as @KingsCollegeLon's VC.

How can universities claim they don't have money to pay their workers? #SettleTheDispute

When your industry structurally depends on people doing more work than they are supposed to, you know something's got to change.

Transport, education, health care... all depend on overtime (paid or unpaid) by the people who work in these sectors.

[KCL UCU is balloting! @KCL_UCU]

If five years of industrial action weren't enough, @KingsCollegeLon Staff Survey has just confirmed that KCL workers are overworked and underpaid: 84% of staff believe they do more than is required of them in their jobs and only 39% believe their pay is reasonable.

[Chisomo Kalinga, PhD @ChisomoWrites]

All migrants, including striking university staff, will bear the burden of these costs. Their fees & their dependents will double. Many unis do not reimburse the costs. It will force people out of the country and certainly off the picket lines. The proposal must be challenged!

[KCL UCU Waterloo @UcuWaterloo]

Good Friday! And #SettleTheDispute

[Alex Mohan Morzeria-Davis @alexander_mmd]

I was so proud to do this speech today.

Solidarity ✊

[Dr Helen Coulshed @helencoulshed]

Inspirational #Solidarity from @sssn_edi
I hope that similar scenes play out across UK graduation ceremonies #OneOfUsAllOfUs @ucu @KCL_UCU @UcuWaterloo @kclsu

Edinburgh students chanting "pay your workers" at their graduation in solidarity with @ucu staff engaged in industrial action.

[KCL UCU Waterloo @UcuWaterloo]

Shameful @aberdeenuni's management who tracked @ucu lecturers participating in the MAB - the action is unlawful and breached data protection laws #MAB #ucuRISING #dataprotection
