It was never staff vs students as the university “managers” would like…today is clearly student and staff against them #ucustrike #ucustrikesback #EnoughIsEnoughIsEnough

Trashing union rights represents a profound misunderstanding- or disrespect - of the role of universities in a free & functioning democracy. #UCUstrike #UCUstrikesback

Arts & Craft day at home. Supporting the #UCUstrikesback #ucurising & #unison teachers strike! @ucu sadly no local pickets for either too show support.

I sadly can’t make it to my university’s physical picket today (for tedious bureaucratic reasons) but with all of you in spirit. Universities can be so much more than the sad race-to-the-bottom that we’re told to accept. Staff and students deserve and rightly expect better.

For those who can, I’d recommend joining us to fight for a better workplace for all https://my.ucu.org.uk/app/membership/member_quote

See you all tomorrow #ucustrike #UCUstrikesback

Cuts in my #pension (c.35%);
Falling pay (a real-terms decrease since 2009 of 20%);
#Inequalities throughout the system;
#Casualisation and #precarity;
Excessive workloads.

For these reasons, I'm #striking today, tomorrow and Wed.

Things cannot go on like this #ucuRISING #ucustrikesback #ucustrike

@dfoffreedom happy memories of standing in the snow on a picket line at Foresterhill with a hot water bottle in 2018.... #UCURising #UCUstrikesback

Here beginneth the 4-day weekend as UK #Academic staff strike over pay and pensions. It'll be all #CatsOfMastodon and #Politics from here on in. #UCURising #UCUStrikesBack #USSpensions

#Solidarity with all those about to engage in industrial action to help improve their and their colleagues working conditions, as well as the learning conditions of their students. #UCU #UCUStrikesBack @ucu ✊🏾

Pas mal la dataviz (le problème étant quand même que les sondé·e·s sont influencé·e·s par les réponses des autres)

RT @NewcastleUniUCU@twitter.com

A lesson in #dataviz: the students have spoken! 30 minutes for marking a 2000 word essay is THREE TIMES LONGER than its allocated for our Teaching Assistants. If it takes longer? Pay drops below minimum wage. #UCUStrikesBack #FourFights

The @CambridgeUCU@twitter.com Addenbrookes picket - fuelled by ginger tea from a thermos and the desire to fight for better working conditions ✊🤩 #UCUstrike #UCUstrikesback

I think that's all I have to add to this thought stream, but I'd value _your_ thoughts, ideas, opinions! #UCUStrikesBack #UCUStrike

#UCUStrikesBack folk in STEM, can I pick your brains? I'll be talking at a teach-out about workload in STEM tonight, & I'd love to share your stories, thoughts, and ideas. Here are some of the points I was thinking of covering, specifically re: software engineering.

At Downing site Cambridge #UCUstrike today we have a singing picket - great way to raise the cheer and be more noticable! @CambridgeUCU@twitter.com

Now, imagine if we could put this creativity and excitement towards our work :( hopefully employers will get reasonable soon #UCUstrikesback

I tried explaining the #UCUstrikes to Squeeper, and this was his opinion about overwork, diversity pay gaps, casual contracts, and more expensive pensions. #UCUstrikesback

This is awful from @EdinburghUni@twitter.com- telling its PhD tutors on internal teaching scholarships that they’re “not employees” so don’t have the right to participate in the strike (despite doing exactly the same teaching as self-funded and externally-funded PhDs)... #UCUstrikesback @ucu@twitter.com

I'm striking for my rights a uni worker, but we care about so many more things. @CambridgeUCU@twitter.com
