“It would not be right to stand here and not acknowledge staff who have been fighting for not more than the bare minimum”. How can we thank you enough for this brave and moving oration at Edinburgh Graduation today. UCU Edinburgh @ucu Staff-Student Solidarity Network Edinburgh

If academics all worked to contract, unis would grind to a halt more dramatically than any industrial action.

the start of an amazing campaign by Brighton UCU to show the people that are on the list to be sacked from University of Brighton !!

Because when University of Brighton
won't feed their Brighton UCU
staff, we, the students, will. UOB won't let you starve. Love and solidarity, coming at you via the stomach, at 7pm on 31st August! ✊️🫶🥳

Retweet to get us traction! 4 literature and 1 linguistic staff going with zero transparency and arbitrary application of criteria!

So far, bosses are refusing to budge. With Brighton University potentially closed for the new academic year due to the strike, you’d think they’d have to change tack soon.

This is the chair of UCEA

This is what he thinks of university staff

Never forget

Thank you Jeremy Corbyn for your solidarity! We will fight these job cuts for as long as it takes. The academic year will not start until every single compulsory redundancy is off the table! Until then University of Brighton is shut! We will #SaveBrightonUni ! ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lost my personal tutor, who is such an inspiration and, ironically, made me want to become an academic. I'm currently crying, but the fight's not over yet. Solidarity and love to all ✊️ #SaveBrightonUni Brighton Humanities Against Cuts UOB Uni of Brighton Exiles #uobsolidarity PGRs Brighton

justgiving.com/crowdfunding/b… Today UoBSol donated to the strike fund to show our solidarity with staff. We see your value. We know that you make the university. We don't want you to go. Brighton UCU PGRs Brighton Brighton Humanities Against Cuts UCU Solidarity Movement @ucu

A statement from UOBSolidarity: 'Solidarity and love on this most heartbreaking day. The fight will continue. We'll be with you, every step of the way. ✊️'. Students stand beside you. Brighton Humanities Against Cuts Brighton UCU PGRs Brighton UCU Solidarity Movement

So if VCs don't plan to negotiate, what is their plan?

The disgusting attacks on members continue at University of Brighton. 100% deductions for refusing a fraction of our work! Debra Humphris & her minions will be held to account for this. The University is nothing without frontline staff! Pay us what you owe! #savebrightonuni

thanks to mickey for making the time to do this! expect he’s back in disneyland now with Debra :)

I thought Brighton Students' Union had gone into summer hibernation cos they certainly haven't been visible or communicating during the crisis.

They've just popped up in my inbox to say that they've asked the uni for a '£1000 goodwill gesture for everyone that has been affected'.

Debra Humphris drags the University of Brighton through yet another unnecessary crisis in her endless war on staff and students.

At what point is too much damage too much damage?

If you wish to play management bingo tomorrow but are stuck for ideas , here’s some inspiration.
