Awful. Solidarity

We will take strike action next week unless the University rules out compulsory redundancies.

The executives we have lost confidence in continue to forecast the need for another £20m of savings. All from staff losses.

We’ve already lost over 600 colleagues. When will the job cuts end?

University staff demand fair pay & an end to sector wide cuts UCU alongside its sister unions, Unison, Unite, EIS & GMB has today (Tuesday) demanded university bosses protect pay, protect jobs and improve working conditions across the sector.

30% real-terms pay cut since 2011.

Vice-chancellors attempting 15,000+ job cuts since last September.

UCU & sister unions are fighting back - submitting our 2026/27 pay claim to UCEA demanding fair pay, protected jobs & an end to casualised contracts.

Solidarity with @ucuaberdeen.bsky.social on strike to save jobs #SaveHE

A really important message.

When we strike, it’s a collective action. We give up our wages and make other personal sacrifices because we know that we are stronger together.

Our voices are amplified by every single member, colleague and student who joins us on the picket line.

Sheffield Hallam restricts TPS access to REF academics only Teaching staff at post-92 institution to be employed by subsidiary firm and lose right to access expensive pensions scheme

'Teaching-only staff at Sheffield Hallam University are set to be moved into a subsidiary firm, leaving research intensive scholars the only academics still being employed directly by the institution.'

Utterly inequitable & betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the teaching/research nexus. 1/3

Teaching as a revolutionary activity Neoliberal universities as a place where radical thoughts come to wither away. We are living in bad times (admittedly, I struggle to remember the good

Wtf Millie that is your *mother*.

Possibly because of all the doom.

Yeah I agree. Gillick is presumed at 12 if I remember correctly? Except in this case for some reason.

And yet 16 remains the age of consent. And two countries in the UK retain legal marriage at 16.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Your unconscious wants you to spill some tea 😂

Statement by trade union leaders

We stand with fellow trade unions in condemning the illegal war on Iran.

Reports of civilian casualties, including students and schoolchildren are deeply disturbing and require urgent and independent investigation.

The killing and wounding of civilians is indefensible.

Salma Yaqoob @SalmaYaqoob Almost feel sorry for the haters who are trying to spin Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man is evidence of Islamist sectarianism In fact it's evidence of genuine tolerance, rejection of superficial identity politics and ability to prioritise tackling common concerns of cost of living, protecting public services and rejecting war mongering. And the promotion of mutual respect and individual freedoms. The coming together of people is terrifying for the ruling elites.

Totally this.

The rightwing hate “journalists” are spinning Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man as Islamist sectarianism.

This sobering SPICe report warns without structural reform to our higher education sector there is a long-term & irreversible decline in university capacity, economic impact, and global reputation.
