Thread: Tips for suggesting potential referees to editors (because we do consider them). This started as a rant but I thought I’d turn it into something more constructive. How mature of me. And these might sound obvious, but you would be surprised…

@GC_Rail your website and app aren’t offering e-tickets when I try to buy. Delivery or vending machine pick up only. Is something wrong? Or is this a new thing?

@GC_Rail what’s going on with the 14.56 from KX?

@GC_Rail Are you not customer services?

@NChemGav I have no idea i'm afraid. This would be a question for Grand Central Customer Services. 0345 603 4852 (option 4 then option 1 - open 09:00 and 19:00 Mon-Fri, 09:00-12:30 Sat-Sun). ^JM

@GC_Rail have you stopped offering e-tickets in your app or emailing e-ticket pdfs? Only options when buying tickets tonight are pick up from the ticket machine at brighouse or Royal Mail delivery.

@GC_Rail Is the 1456 KX to Brighouse likely to be affected? If so what are alternative options?

Day 2 #springernaturestrike Once again I am striking today. I wish this wasn't the case. I love my job and I'd much rather be reading your papers and working with my team. Hopefully this will come to an end soon.

Journalists at Springer Nature are striking today in their fight for a fair pay award. With operating profits of over £400m in their most recent annual report, #NUJ says management must return to talks with an improved offer. ✊Show them solidarity using #SpringerNatureStrike

They’ll have to listen now.

Over 200 editors, journalists and production staff working across the Nature family of journals are expected to participate in today’s strike in a dispute over pay. chemistryworld.com/news/springer-… #springernaturestrike

Glad to see my former colleagues at @Nature striking for fair pay in the UK. While company profits have gone up, jobs have been eliminated & editor/reporter wages have been stagnant. #SpringerNatureStrike

Nature Portfolio editors based in London (including some from Nature Physics) are striking today over a pay dispute. Salaries in London have not kept up with inflation for a long time, and the current cost of living crisis in the UK makes this particularly acute.

Today I am striking together with my Nature editorial and production colleagues in London for better pay. Thanks for all your support so far, it means so much. If you feel able to, please consider signing this open letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1Th… #springernaturestrike

Didn’t expect (or indeed want) to be here but the company has pushed us for the last four years and we reached the end of our collective tether. #SpringerNatureStrike

@TPEassist I left my coat on the 10.49 from Durham (got off at York). Please advise.
