@nickhillman @HEPI_news @BBCRadio4 1. Industrial action stopped the destruction of the USS pension. 2. Lowering salaries still further impacts on our competitiveness. 3. As do cuts in pensions. 4. The political direction of travel means relaxation of visas is very unlikely.

Did you write your MP about the crisis in HE? We wrote a briefing for Newcastle Members, but it could easily be used by other branches / members too! ncl.web.ucu.org.uk/newcastle-univ…

It's great to see this initiative from @LondonUCU. A new Government means our existing campaigns need to be refocused. But its right to say there are new threats on the horizon too. We will discuss this at our next Organising Meeting: ⏰Wednesday, 6pm 👉bit.ly/UCUSM_org

My baby and I are facing a longer wait for discharge because of the #DoctorsStrike but I want them to win more than I want things to run smoothly today because disruption is necessary. #PayRestoration is not too much to ask. I *need* NHS workers to have decent pay and conditions!

From 7am we strike until 7am on 2 July. This is a critical stage of our #PayRestoration campaign which comes at a time when the general election swirls around our dispute. Let's make this #DoctorsStrike the biggest and loudest yet. Tag us in your posts so we can share them 📸

Solidarity. Congress clearly wanted this settled and was sympathetic to UNITE’s demands. And to allow recall HE sector Congress lost to a Unite strike day. Failure to resolve the dispute leaves a big gap in policy-making and accountability.
Unite UCU@UniteUCU

During ACAS talks today, attended by UCU's General Secretary & President, yet again no tangible offer was made that could move us to ending our dispute. Of much greater concern is a risk of escalation after the employer suggested pausing our recognition agreement. #ReclaimUCU
