Oh good— Cardiff University “reject any suggestion that we are ‘trashing’ academic standards.” We can all chill out then. nation.cymru/news/cardiff-u… Cardiff UCU✊🌱 UCU

Many Cardiff UCU✊🌱 members Cardiff University, including the most precariously employed, under-paid staff, have been on half or no pay for months. Let’s raise money to help us win this thing. If you can’t make the gig, please give generously here: gofundme.com/f/cardiff-ucu-… #ucuRISING ✊

Come along to our Alternative Graduation Party fundraiser ft. a post-band playlist from me as I attempt to move away from previous criticism that my party music is "gloomy and unlistenable" [tell that to everyone who runs into the room when I put Rammstein on!]

New TUC analysis on latest pay data: Current pay falls aren't being felt equally. Sectoral data shows that workers in wholesale, retail & hospitality, public sector, and construction are seeing biggest hit to real pay. Workers in finance and business seeing the smallest hit.

The solidarity from graduating Cardiff University students is truly inspiring. Many thanks to third year Psychology student George for wearing our mercy & raising the fist. Students can get their pink solidarity sashes all week from our stall outside St David’s Hall! #UCUrising 🩷✊👇

NEW: Prison educators call for government clarity on contracts, pay + pension. Prison education is the unsung part of post-school education. Lecturers often work in difficult of situations, with less pay + respect than other teachers. 🔗 rb.gy/bx826 UCU Prison Education needs a payrise

I have retweeted many tweets about #USS. I won't stop. Neither will I forget being made to feel like a bad employee/teacher for standing for our rights. It angers me that HE employers made us feel like idealist fools and hurt our students in the process.

A must-listen audio thread 🧵 of an excellent BBC Radio Wales us & the Cardiff Students' Union president Madison Hutchinson SU about the Cardiff University graduation chaos: “Yes, these students are frustrated. However, most are very supportive of UCU.” #ucuRISING ✊🩷✊🩷✊🩷✊🩷✊ 1/4

We are obviously aware of the events from Friday involving the mistaken withdrawal of strike notices for two UCU branches, and the online commentary and statements which have followed. 1/6

Unite UCU members have today overwhelmingly voted to take strike action in support of their two #PGRsAsStaff colleagues. 71.22% of members who voted backed strike action on a 76.37% turnout.

We can today report that following ACAS talks a full-time post has now been offered to our #PGRsAsStaff leads who were affected by a 40% job cut. As a result all planned action has been called off and our employer has been informed that we consider this dispute is now resolved.
