Whilst we are fully prepared to escalate, we really don't want to... we are still asking the VC to reconsider these threats... please consider signing this open letter asking him once again to withdraw these measures forms.gle/733RV3HxcbuRUU… #ucuRISING Keele UCU #solidarity

Sounds lovely, what a shame staff will be on the picket line over cruel 50% salary deductions instead of promoting the degrees and services they work on. twitter.com/KeeleUCU/statu…

🚨BREAKING: UCU members are resigning in numbers as external examiners in protest against wage deductions

If you're an external examiner & want to stand with staff in the boycott, you can join them in resigning & signing the petition

🚨A MESSAGE FROM STUDENTS TO STUDENTS

This is why university staff are boycotting marking & assessments

Higher education is rigged against students & staff, but by standing with UCU, you can change it

Tell your vice-chancellor: ucu.org.uk/email-your-VC

#ucuRISING

Students-- please understand that we are keen to resolve this dispute & get marking, get you graduated with proper transcripts, not made-up ones. The choice to resolve it now is one that only university employers can make. Urge your Vice-Chancellors to do the right thing. Now.

Fellow Keele uni alumni, please sign

Friends and colleagues: we would appreciate your support on this open letter. You don’t have to be a Keele person, in fact support from across the sector could be impactful (the world is watching, etc). Please sign if you have a moment. I will of course sign your letters too!

Keele supporters, staff, students, and alumni, WE NEED YOU! Please sign our open letter against management's 50% pay deductions for action short of a strike. These threats are disproportionate & deliberately designed to undermine trade union action

Amazing result Keele UCU members today sending a decisive message 🔥🔥We will not stand down 🔥🔥 #UCUrising ✊ #Solidarity #Solidarität #Solidaridad #solidarité

🚨BREAKING🚨
In today’s well attended EGM members voted 94% YES to a motion for strikes in response to threats of 50% MAB pay deductions.
If management do not withdraw these threats they will be hit with strikes on June open days, July graduation, clearing and welcome weeks.

So let me get this straight: #UCU members overwhelmingly (81%) rejected UCEA's 5% pay offer. At time of vote, the GS labelled the offer 'another devastating real-terms pay cut' and strongly recommended to reject it.

Back the talks, back the strikes, back the ballot👊

On this night 5 years ago, during Ramadan, a small fire in a kitchen on the fourth floor leapt out of the window and ignited a structure that had been made into a deathtrap. The fire burned for 60 hours and took 72 precious lives. We're still waiting for

BREAKING: Correction - ONE more Rwanda deportees has had their ticket cancelled. The current total number with tickets for tomorrow’s flight is seven.

5 years ago 72 people died because they were trapped in a government mandated death trap. 5 years later and we can’t forget their names. We must continue to fight for justice for them and their families. 💚💚✊🏾 #Justice4Grenfell
