ucu.org.uk/article/13110/…

Today we urge our members and followers to sign this open letter, currently 1700 signatures strong. It calls on UCEA to #settlethedispute tomorrow in negotiations. It continues because they are making it do so.

Tomorrow 7pm-8pm we want to take over Twitter. Let’s get #SettleTheDispute trending.

Our members deserve a pay rise and dignity at work.

Tweet messages to the employer. Tweet solidarity.

Copy Raj Jethwa UCEA into every post.

Please RT and get ready for 7pm tomorrow 💪

🚨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 💪

This is a welcome, if overdue, development.

Just last week UCEA were refusing to return to negotiations - your support has changed that.

We’ll keep you updated on any developments. Stand firm.

At our AGM last week the branch overwhlemingly passed a motion asking NEC to 'deprioritise' Congress motion 5 on Ukraine, and heard from noted historian of the region Simon Pirani. We will continue our work to support Ukrainians in and beyond our university community.

Back in May Cambridge University took the lead in calling on UCEA to negotiate with UCU. The VC's letter today should sound the alarm for the sector as a whole

'We have staff now at the University of Leeds, this world-class institution, using food banks'

Our members at Leeds University UCU told ITV News why they've been forced to strike

Leeds management refused to even give an interview

Bullying and thuggish.

UoM SLT are saying they will increase deductions for the marking boycott, from an already disproportionate 50%, to 100%, just for not notifying participation at a random time of their choosing.

Clearly punitive, legally dodgy, brutal and offensive.

(1/3)

Solidarity with Arts and Hums colleagues at Uni of Kent UCU who are going through the mill again. Link in Helen's tweet.

VC’s are now being humiliated for their actions in the national press 🥴🗞

Students know who is to blame for this disruption and deleting comments won’t change this

It’s about time you start urging UCEA to re-negotiate

Our colleagues at Kent university are facing down compulsory redundancies and, it appears, management willing to renege on their commitments. Please sign their petition. #oneofusallofus

new entry for most disproportionate MAB deduction? I've just been told I was docked 50% of my wages for the week 20th-28th April because I didn't walk up the stairs to registry and sign off some exam papers I'd already written and submitted

My employer SOAS University of London has snatched £1.5k from my gross pay as 'strike' deductions for April. Reader, we *did not take a single day's strike action in April*. We boycotted marking as ASOS. I did all work except some moderation near the end of the month. This is wage theft #ShameOnSoas
