@ucunorthumbria.bsky.social.
United against bosses @northumbriauni.bsky.social who want to rip off pay and pensions, rip up contracts, and rip us out of national bargaining.
United for a better future, for staff, our university, our students, our community. Join us.
The more HE employers go rogue, the more @ucu.org.uk need to, and will, push back. Pensions are a right, not a bargaining chip for cutting pay. ✊✊✊www.ucu.org.uk/article/14460/UCU-demand...
@ucunorthumbria.bsky.social keeping it real.
@ucunorthumbria.bsky.social picket line today. You can see that, because it says so. We never put a foot wrong...

Some @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social members at today's strike day teach-out on pensions. Lots to learn, lots to do, and plenty to fight for! @teacherspensions.bsky.social @ucea.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk @timeshighered.bsky.social
@ucunorthumbria.bsky.social playing a lament for the death of UK Higher Education (including @northumbriauni.bsky.social), and a call to arms for those who want to defend it.

'The surging number of redundancies in UK higher education could undermine entire research fields as networks of collaborators disappear, according to an academic whose project fell through when a colleague’s job at another institution was put at risk.' 1/2
Some reflections on "writing as method" with @jsclayton.bsky.social @cmxckinlay.bsky.social + Liv Robinson and Tadhg Camm. Great to work on this together: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

WELCOME TO @northumbriauni.bsky.social! WELCOME TO @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social!
Another amazing showing from @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social - not even including all those at Coach Lane Campus, or striking from afar. We go again tomorrow!
Amazing solidarity from far and near - @oubucu.bsky.social donated to our fighting fund, @lancasterucu.bsky.social passed motion in support, students gave speeches to picketers, and @greenparty.org.uk candidate (only politicians to visit yet!) and @newcastleucu.bsky.social were in attendance. 🌈
🥁📯🐶😍👉Huge @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social picket lines @northumbriauni.bsky.social today - with more strike dates announced (16, 17, 25, 26, 27 March and 20-24 April). Expect more drums, dogs, and righteous indignation @andylong6.bsky.social @georgeclarke.bsky.social @chionwurah.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk
✊✊✊@ucunorthumbria.bsky.social has announced more strike dates: 16, 17, 25, 26, 27 March and 20-24 April. Resolve is strong, the cause is just, and members are raging at @northumbriauni.bsky.social attacks on pay and pensions. No-one wants to be on strike, but no-one wants pay and pension injustice.
@ucunorthumbria.bsky.social members are proud to teach students from around the world 🌍. But @northumbriauni.bsky.social plans to slash staff pay and pensions affect them too, as these words of fire 🔥and solidarity ✊from a student show. Happy staff = happy students: ucu-unn.org.uk/blogucu/327-...
Big strike week ahead. Imagine if we win!
