#UCUSolidarity. Defend jobs. Defend education. At HE, FE and adult education institutions, many hundreds of unnecessary lay-offs are threatened by management. This is entirely about choice of where to spend money, by some extremely wealthy institutions. It is also a #BAME issue.

From the ongoing #UCUSolidarity rally - we need to emulate other trade union victories achieved through mass online meetings and mass mobilisation

#UCUSolidarity online rally precarity story: 'It's me today and if you don't fight, it'll be you tomorrow'. If we don't secure the casualised, they will casualise the secure.

We have created a letter campaign to keep up the pressure on University of Warwick management to reconsider their decision to slash the budget that would leave precariously employed teaching staff out to dry. Please check it out, sign, send, & share! actionnetwork.org/letters/cut-fr…

The gap between "wellbeing" as part of management speak and *actual staff wellbeing* grows ever wider at UK universities...

Universities don’t deserve us and aren’t worth the huge sacrifices many people are making to stay in.

"While I’m partly envious of permanent staff who, for the moment at least, seem to be keeping a job at the University, some will be having to take on so much extra work that they’ll be burnt out within months." #PrecarityStories The University of Manchester manchesterantiprecarity.wordpress.com/individual-sto…

📢📢 Y'all should have gotten an email "York UCU Branch - Notice of Emergency Branch Meeting on Monday 20th July at 12.00 pm" PLEASE ADD IT TO YOUR CALENDAR and join us on Monday for this important meeting about the future of the university!

The reality of being a lecturer / tutor today - and it couldn't be further removed from the stereotypical image of an upper class man with slightly dishevelled hair and a tweet jacket with elbow patches:

For PG students who teach at York, Rose is fighting your corner - let her know about your pay and conditions 💪✊

'We need nothing less than the transformation of Higher Education' concludes #CoronaContract - and we couldn't agree more! Please share this video about the reality of what it means to be a #precarious academic in 2020.

A belated RT from us - but a very important letter which sets out AGAIN how a reckless return to face-to-face teaching will affect the most precarious staff most severely. University of York must address these concerns.

Same girl, same. Solidarity to all casualised superstars out there facing a return to teaching under potentially unsafe conditions, just to earn what might be less than the min wage.
