✨REPORT ✨ @sheffielducu branch hv voted 94 - 0 to back the #PGRsAsStaff campaign, opposing the compulsory redundancies imposed by @DrJoGrady @UCU. Members were also dismayed at the *4%* pay offer to @UniteUCU & called on UCU to engage in proper negotiations with staff ✊

1000 people have signed the open letter to @DrJoGrady asking for two amazing organisers to be kept on the @UCU payroll for @UCUPostgrads #PGRsAsStaff & the same standards we demand from employers. It will be sent once we get organised. bit.ly/SavePGRsAsStaff #TwoOfUsAllOfUs

UCU members: We need to keep resourcing the PGRs as Staff campaign at current staffing levels UCU SMT still plans to reduce staffing for PGRs as Staff as the project apparently enters a new phase. This would be a mistake for the industrial objectives of the union. A 🧵

This statement is positive. It's come from the pressure that the MAB has created. Pressure must be maintained while negotiations continue. We can't call off the MAB for an interim agreement, we need a deal. Sign this to keep the pressure on: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

🚨It’s Horror Show after Horror Show, as management have tried to respond to the MAB. It’s been carnage at Exam Boards across the University and, unfortunately, the victims are mainly professional standards and academic rigour. Stories from across the University include: 1/11

Just like "stopping the boats", London is learning and promoting from its (former) colonies. Spence gutted @Sydney_Uni working conditions, and here is he gutting staff conditions @ucl. Solidarity with workers in the #HigherEd sector beholden to these types.
IWGB Universities of London@IWGBUoL

Who gets the right to disagree at UCL? Yesterday, IWGB members and supporters at UCL confronted UCL Provost Michael Spence at his event, titled "How to Disagree Well" We highlighted the silencing of security guards over proposed fire-and-rehire redundancies. 🧵 A thread

First scabbed module marks coming in and they are absolutely inconsistent as expected. Students: map your marks against former assessments, check your feedback against criteria and complain that there are irregularities in the assessment process - ie not marked by module tutor.

We absolutely must have an immediate Branch Delegate Meeting. If that means branches organising it themselves then we should do this. We cannot let management undermine national bargaining and the dispute as a whole by picking off individual (& stronger) branches

@UniversityLeeds A trusted source inside another area said they had never seen such disruption to marking and they find it hard to see how a single student will graduate from any of their programmes. They report the situation as "Completely F****d"

Well well well. It seems @SheffieldUni contract a security company for a "weekly digest" of things they've spotted on social media that could be a threat to the institution, including students running for election for @SheffieldSU. Great work by @nowthenmag uncovering this.
Now Then Magazine@nowthenmag

We've obtained documents that show how the University of Sheffield hired private investigators who went on to monitor candidates in a student election. The file is heavily redacted, but appears to name individual students and outlines their manifesto for office at @SheffieldSU.

.@Bruneluni soliciting scabs from former students - why does it not seem likely that “we would of course have explained the full circumstances before asking you to agree” 🧐

You may want to apply for this opportunity to undermine the MAB for pay vastly exceeding how much @UWEBristol pays their proper markers (hence the workload dispute that’s led to this MAB). If you get the job then decide to MAB, that sure would be a pity. ce0164li.webitrent.com/ce0164li_webre…
UCU@ucu

This is beyond the pale. @UWEBristol are offering casual, zero hour contracts to mark the assignments of staff involved in the MAB. Instead of attacking your own staff and offering these disgraceful contracts, call on @UCEA1 to re-negotiate! #ucuRISING
