@ucu @UniversitiesUK @UCEA1 I can't find the source of this either, can anyone repost?

@ucu @UniversitiesUK @UCEA1 I can't find the source of this, anyone seen it?

@JamesCranch @ucu @UniversitiesUK @UCEA1 We can cope without VC's whether there's a pandemic or not.

@JosephineCumbo They can try all they like to pit students against staff but it won’t work because the majority of students recognise that without those staff there is no university experience to begin with.

It's good to think we can lead a more resistant society by example. Unions are key to protecting employees from employer abuse

[DB Roberts @visual_learning]

Amen to that

@JosephineCumbo Good point. Well mande. Except... Well, we suggest that perhaps a lot of the 'buzz of campus life' depends quite heavily on staff not being exhausted, broke, broken, depressed, or just plain terrified for their future.

@bobothefooel @JosephineCumbo As a member of staff, I really appreciate this support. Thank you.

@JosephineCumbo I go to a Russell group uni, if they're so concerned about preserving the vibes, maybe they should stop treating their employees like shit

Vice chancellors' club UCEA have said staff understand the “financial realities” at UK universities.

That’s absolutely right: staff understand what a disgrace it is that vice chancellors take home £300k+ salaries while they are denied basic dignity and respect

[UCU @ucu]

'Vice-chancellors and managers should reflect on why levels of staff morale in higher education have plummeted to the extent that industrial action is becoming an annual affair'

Are you listening @UniversitiesUK, @UCEA1?

🚨BREAKING 🚨

In our ballot over pay & working conditions 70% of UCU members backed strike action

85% voted in support of action short of strike

And our overall turnout in British universities beat the Tory anti-trade union law, again

Loughborough University voted to strike for our pensions in huge majority:
Yes 227 72.8%
No 85 27.2%
I look forward to picketing to stop another employer from robbing me blind :)

@ucu @DrJoGrady Conservative MP. Manipulating Palter. Disingenuous, cronyist deniers. #GoJo.

[DB Roberts @visual_learning]

@ucu @DrJoGrady Agreed. VC benefits up, our benefits down. That's trickle down in marketized HE.
