This rings a bell #SaveUEA

🖊️"Our fear is that if we do not resist compulsory redundancy plans now, UEA will find itself in this same situation year after year with the institution ultimately plummeting towards a death spiral."

👓Read this piece by one of our committee members on the Higher Ed crisis.

🚩 #SaveUEA

Education, education, education? When will Labour tackle the crisis engulfing our schools, colleges and universities? All levels of our education system face a systemic crisis. Yet as with so many other areas of policy, Keir Starmer doesn't seem to have any hopes for education at all, writes Connor Bollins.

📣It is our firm stance that protecting students and staff at UEA requires us to fight compulsory redundancies with every tool we have.

🥰We've had a fantastic turnout on the picket line this week and are so grateful to everyone who has supported us.

🚩Together we can #SaveUEA

We’re on the picket today - in person, some from home. We are angry. We are deeply, deeply sad. Most of us have been at UEA for most of our adult lives. We ARE UEA. This is personal. Come join us. #saveuea

For the sake of 10FTE jobs, UEA are still pressing ahead with compulsory redundancies. Some of these folk are friends & colleagues in my department. This doesn’t have to happen & is an enormous error of management #SaveUEA

😍Thank you to all of our members giving everything they can to support our industrial action!
💪Together we can keep up the pressure and force the employer to change course. #SaveUEA

📣Pushing through with compulsory redundancies is not in the moral, strategic or financial interest of UEA.

🚩Join us on the picketline, tomorrow from 8am, as we continue to make the case for a brighter future for our university. #SaveUEA

💪Our members will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with colleagues at risk of compulsory redundancy.

🚩We will be back on the picketline tomorrow, Fri 9th May.

📣Uni management must change course now. #SaveUEA

Redundancies remain on the table at UEA.

"It’s time for UEA management to do the right thing, drop the threats, engage meaningfully, and commit to real accountability." @drjogrady.bsky.social

Solidarity with all striking staff. ✊

#SaveUEA

📣UEA UCU members: our strike action remains ON.
🚩Upcoming strike days: Wed 7th and Fri 9th

Save jobs - save the doggos! (Treatos are pricey.) @uea-ucu.bsky.social #saveuea (Talulah, Lottie, Frankie Peaches, and Pebble showing their solidarity at Cow Drive today.)

How did you spend International Workers' Day? We were on the picket line defending jobs and and future of Higher Ed! #SaveUEA #MayDay

A wonderful history lecturer wearing a pink UCU cap holds a sign of a goose saying HONK 4 JOBS, drawn in pink.

A history lecturer rides a bike with two UCU flags fluttering majestically from the back wheel. It is, in a word, splendid.

A very fine UCU picket at UEA.

Another great day on the UEA UCU pickets - solidarity, flags, and a lot of support from passers by. #saveuea #weareuea

Tori smiles at the camera while people in the background hold signs and drummers drum in the background

Another day another @uea-ucu.bsky.social picket #SaveUEA

Management could end this. Tens of people remain at risk and are undergoing a brutal process unnecessarily.

Lest you think full on strike action is excessive for a handful of people: we would go out even for a single person. We are all safe, or none of us are.
