BA Human #Geography is being axed at Sheffield Hallam despite v strong recruitment. I was external examiner for 5 years - it's an excellent course run by inspiring scholars. Full support to old friends there & UCUHallam. This cut is undeniably political & must be stopped. Pls rt

Please RT. PhD students funded by UK Research and Innovation face a cash crisis. They are working full-time, yet earning less than living wage. With the rising cost of living and increasing pressure to deliver high quality research that benefits society, something needs to change. THREAD (1/10)

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD. University bosses are rattled. Across the UK they are threatening UCU members with unfair and immoral pay deductions if they take part in action short of striking. This thread exposes every single one of them #ucuRISING

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD. Threats of unfair and immoral pay deductions for taking part for action short of striking continue. This thread exposes those universities that prefer to intimidate their staff than treat them with respect. #ucuRISING

I NEED EVERY SINGLE UCU MEMBER TO RT THIS THREAD Tomorrow we have our say. Here are some reasons to take strike action. Add your own thoughts in the replies and we will share them! #ucuRISING

Today is the first day I won’t be working in months (inc weekends). But I’m not having a day off, I’ll be picketing with CoventryUCU. University workloads are unsustainable. I love my job, but I can’t provide the service students deserve while I’m at breaking point. #ucuRISING

We accept that salary is deducted for strike days, however something UNIMAGINABLE is happening at Queen Mary University of London 🤯🤬🥴 QMUL are threatening to dock 100% of salary INDEFINITELY until staff make up the teaching cancelled due to strike 🧵1/n Queen Mary UCU UCU #ucuRISING #UCUstrike

Hi Please stop crossing the picket line. Please, just stop. Digital, too. I'm on strike. You're undermining our strike. You're undermining your strike. I don't know how else to say this. I can't make it any clearer. You're driving me around the bend. Best wishes, Sarah #UCUstrike
