As @UCU members & ex-members from UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies, the UK’s largest centre for the study of Ukraine, Eastern Europe & Russia, we condemn Congress Motion 5’s misrepresentation of the war & UCU’s reluctance to support Ukraine. Please read & share our open letter Jo Grady UCL-UCU Stop the Destruction of Higher Education

SSEES strikes & supports Ukraine 🇺🇦 #Solidarity UCU UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies Jo Grady UCL-UCU Stop the Destruction of Higher Education Statement from comrades involved in leading the pro-Ukraine fight at the Congress - please share x.com/zenscara/statu…

Perhaps the signatories of this ‘anti-war’ letter should go to Kyiv and explain to people running from missiles and drones that they really shouldn’t be allowed to have their air defence systems. Sad to see a UCL-UCU Stop the Destruction of Higher Education signatory here.

Charlie Jeffery, University of York Vice Chancellor today publishes this piece Wonkhe, jointly authored with the York UCU branch executive UCU UOY is telling our UEB they are wrong, on the need to improve pay and conditions in UK higher education. An encouraging step in the right direction. 👇 wonkhe.com/blogs/a-shared…

Our members were right all along that the USS scheme was viable and the 2022 cuts were unwarranted. To all those who sneered and doubted us - today is a total vindication for every member that stood on picket lines in the rain and snow to defend their pensions. #ucuRISING

Bit of a wet and windy picket outside Grand Parade. STOP THE REDUNDANCIES AT #BRIGHTONUNI #SaveBrightonUni #BoycottBrightonUni #UCU #MAB #ucuRISING

"Apparently Ukraine is more important to Conservatives than Britain!" Full solidarity from USC to UK university workers on strike! But this kind of nationalism posing as class politics is disastrous. Why is UCU Left retweeting it?

Another step closer to reversing out six years of awful scheme management and opportunistic attacks by employers, with benefits set to go back to where they were before the 2018 strikes. I can't help but look at the "near" unanimous support and wonder who objected... #USSmess

⚡️ NEWSFLASH ⚡️ "Vice chancellor resigns after pressure from staff" Following motions of no confidence passed by all 3 trade unions, the University of Leeds VC Simone Buitendijk has announced that she is stepping down with almost immediate effect. leedsucu.org.uk/vice-chancello… UCU

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…

Thanks to every member who stood solid on picket lines or on strike from home UCU Ulster UCU at Queen's & every UCU branch & to our negotiators. This victory cost a lot. They said we were naive, but they were lying. This is our collective achievement #FrozenButSolid #OneofUsAllofUs

Victory!

🤯WOW: We're up to 14,000 consultation responses. USS members, check your email now and vote YES for pension justice. Every HE member: Look what we can achieve when we stand together. Vote YES in the reballot and WIN on pay as well. #ucuRISING

New coming through from USS today. Industrial action works.

🧵w/ thoughts on this hypothesis👇for why the turnout (& % of Yes vote) have plummeted for Four Fights at this ballot. 1/ x.com/JasonPtrDavies…

🚨NEW: USS contribution rates will fall from 9.8% to 6.1% on Monday 1 January - putting money back into your pockets. Your action did this. Your union did this. It’s the season, winning back our pensions, Merry Christmas everyone.

👇👇👇👇👇💪💪💪💪💪 So many of my followers had to put up with my rants on USS pensions for UK universities. All those strike tweets. But we won. We bloody won.

Reminder to every UK uni worker who pays into USS pension. When your pay packet goes up magically in January, it's because of several years of diligence and exhausting industrial action by UCU members

Up the unions. Well done to all the members who worked hard, suffered hardships, cold and wet days, pay deductions to make this work
