Universities are increasingly being challenged to show leadership in responding to and addressing climate change - but how can they do so? We are running two events next month to explore this. See below 👇

ALL WELCOME!

/1

Great idea🎉🥳🎉🥳

Well done once again to every UCU member who is winning their pension back!

There’s not a great deal to celebrate in UKHE at the moment, but this month’s restoration of our pension benefits is certainly something to be happy about!

To mark this victory we’re holding a gathering in scholars bar from 5pm on the 1st of Feb.

We hope to see you there!

🚨CALLING ALL UCU MEMBERS

Protect the right to strike!

Join us in Cheltenham on Saturday 27 January.

#RightToStrike

Staff have been forced to pay the price for UEA’s financial crisis.

Yet the leader responsible has walked away with a £97k pay off. Disgraceful.

UEA UCU says join a union

timeshighereducation.com/news/former-v-…

May I politely suggest to non-UCU members who benefit from the pending USS changes, to the tune of tens of £000s (and to those members who for whatever reason did not strike), please consider supporting those who took action and lost salary for your gain: ucu.org.uk/fightingfund

This agreement between UCU & USS Employers on USS is very good👇. It's highly significant that it has the unanimous support of @UCU's negotiators. 1/
ucu.org.uk/media/14070/Oc…

“…full restoration of USS pensions. 69 days of strike action in the making.”

If you’re not in the union, or if you are a union member but didn’t take part in the industrial action, please, take a moment and think about what the union could achieve with your support.

Is collective bargaining key to levelling up? Maybe the answer is to look to Norway says Alex Bryson in this blog for Unions 21.

#SaveUEA

Solidarity with @UCU members taking action for fair pay - we stand with you✊

It's high time university employers pay up and #SettleTheDispute

Every day this dispute drags on UCEA and Raj Jethwa are failing in their duty to staff, students and HE more broadly. It's time for some creative thinking and compromise rather than intransigence and heads in the sand. #SettleTheDispute #ucuRISING

UCU members should not have their wages docked.

Students should not be missing out on their hard-earned degrees.

Sending my solidarity to both staff and students.

As for the employers, it's time to #SettleTheDispute .

Do right by your staff and your students UCEA and #SettleTheDispute

In their vindictive response to the marking boycott, university employers are:

✔️Disrespecting us
✔️Stealing our wages
✔️Undermining the entire sector.

Enough. They must #SettleTheDispute with a fair offer now.

Join our tweetstorm at 7pm tomorrow ✊

📢 UCU twitter storm TOMORROW 📢

7-8pm tomorrow as part of our national day of protest, there will be a #SettleTheDispute twitter storm.

Make sure you take part. Let’s keep pressure up on the employers ✊

🚨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 why it is so important that the UEA take all remaining redundancies off the table NOW. Waiting until August is not only unnecessarily cruel for staff, but risks further impacts on teaching and learning. Let us get on with the jobs we love
