#WeAreTheUniversity

Staff at University of Sheffield begin strike action Staff at the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University are taking part in strikes.

Day 2! People out in force on the picket lines 🙌 Nice to see a relatively active #DigitalPicket too @sheffielducu.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“We have the brightest and the best. Let’s keep it that way.”

@rupahuq.bsky.social MP and academic stands with UCU members voting for fair pay, secure jobs and a stronger future for higher education.

Vote. Share. Mobilise. We can do this.

Managers are always keen to claim the ‘sector wide challenges’ as if they have no agency but someone still is making decisions (+ claiming the six-figure salaries for that ‘responsibility’). And their paths to decision are made very opaque.

#UKHE needs a change of financial system & governance.

University of Nottingham considers axing language and music degrees Total of 48 degrees could disappear from Russell Group institution, with falling revenues and rising costs blamed

This isn’t “efficiency” it’s an ideological shift towards a Little England university system.

Nottingham is set to become the only Russell Group university with no modern languages or music degrees.

48 courses on the line. We’re fighting it.

Day 2 of our strike action.Heres some photos from yesterday’s action.

Come and join us if you value jobs at the University of Dundee.

#SaveDundeeUni #SaveHE

“We were absolutely gobsmacked.”

48 courses axed, music, languages, mental health care, childcare.
No consultation. No vision.

This is why we’re voting YES, to stop the destruction of our universities.

A group of over 40 people stand listening to speeches at the front of the Tower Building at the University of Dundee. The people are on a picket line for Dundee Universities and College Union. Many are wearing pink hats with ‘UCU’ on the front.

Very strong turnout this morning on the first of our five days strike.

On Friday, in a meeting with the interim Principal, he confirmed his ideology is to cut as many jobs as possible.

Support our action to save jobs and save the University!

@patrickneveling.bsky.social @bournemouthucu.bsky.social

Universities are taking in more than ever through student fees but staff pay has fallen year after year.

It’s time to change that.

Vote YES.
#WeAreTheUniversity

Overcrowded lectures. Growing admin. Unpredictable numbers.

On LBC last night, Jo Grady spoke about how higher education workloads are becoming inherently stressful.

This ballot is our chance to say: enough.
Vote YES for manageable workloads and fair pay.

Jo Grady joined striking members at
Nottingham today as they fight management’s refusal to commit to no redundancies during a restructure. #WeAreTheUniversity

Cathartic.

“They’ve doubled down on disaster.

Our universities deserve proper public funding not another broken model.”

@drjogrady.bsky.social discussing the white paper last night on UCU Live.

"I’m voting YES to stop the massive cut in staff pay and protect our sector."

Today a member from UCL tells us why he’s voting YES.

Why are you voting YES? Tell us below and tag a colleague.

“Job security has been chipped away for years.
We’re losing the best and the brightest from our universities”.

Dyfrig Jones sounded the alarm on Time Radio yesterday “it’s an emergency”.

#UCU #VoteYES #WeAreTheUniversity

Universities would not function without support staff. A 1.4% pay offer is an insult to their hard work and dedication. All staff deserve better than a real-terms pay cut.

The UNISON pay ballot for industrial action opens TODAY. VOTE YES for industrial action. #fundourfuture #fundourpay
