🚨Pay dispute declared🚨 Despite repeated requests UCU still refuses talks over the 2024/25 pay claim we submitted in April. Why would a trade union employer refuse to negotiate on pay? Our pay year begins on 1 August so we’re now 3 months into an effective pay freeze.

An unbelievably bleak decision. Retaining the 40 yr repayment period (only introduced by Sunak from this year), will make the weight of this debt worse. It's awful & regressive. Phillipson has been utterly silent during round after round of cuts at Sunderland, her local uni.

This lunch time members of the Management School took part in a protest against the sudden closure of the Courtyard Cafe by University leaders without any consideration of the impact on staff and students. An open letter has been shared detailing concerns forms.gle/4scoR629FhHy79…

Well! When I said yesterday that confidence was ebbing away, little did I imagine that over 10% of staff at @SheffieldUni would turn up to a joint-union held meeting to vote no confidence in UEB's leadership. 944 votes with 93.3% no confidence according to @SheffieldUCU. Brutal.

Our employer has confirmed pay will remain frozen as they are “choosing” to not hold pay talks while we remain in dispute over our campaign for a safe & professional workplace. This decision breaches staff employment contracts. Astounding to find ourselves in a 2nd live dispute.

We've been truly amazed by the support we’ve had on here from UCU members & branches, but it's beyond time to begin our final move elsewhere. We hope our employer will do the same. So do join us in one of the less morally bankrupt online spaces - see our profile for options.

My exclusive for Observer today: For 1st time FOI data from Oxford colleges shows majority of tutorials taught by early career academics struggling to manage on low pay & ‘Deliveroo-style’ contracts. FT profs only taught a third of tutorials last year. theguardian.com/education/2024…

Love it when an employer announces a restructure during a dispute for the purposes of 'transparency' and then ends the meeting half an hour early, taking no questions and telling people they can go now

Last year, Morrisons made £14.9bn profit. Now they are wanting to cut 400 jobs at their Rathbones bakery site in Wakefield. We're backing BFAWU members calling on CEO Rami Baitiéh to stop the cuts. #Morrisons #Cuts #FireandRehire

It may well end up being the ever increasing levels of cringe that bring me off this app

‼️UNITE ARE UNION-BUSTING‼️ As a Unite the union: join a union member & rep I’m horrified to read this news. We pay our dues to be protected in work, not to fund bosses using bullying tactics to protect themselves & damage the livelihoods of workers A 🧵…. gmblondon.org.uk/news/unite-emp…
