@happyplunderer @DUCUPGR @NewcastleUniUCU The employer chose not to accept the correction that clarified that the withdrawal of strike dates was a mistake. From what I understand there was also the threat of legal action from the employer if the strikes were to go ahead.

@DUCUPGR @NewcastleUniUCU Soooooooo. Was that an option? They could have said "listen, we don't agree with what you're doing, but we'll let a good faith error go" and didn't? If so, I'm gonna be *even more* pissed than I already am, which I didn't think was possible.

A group of us who organised around solidarity with Ukraine in the lead up to #UCUcongress 2023 have written a joint statement. Please read, share, and sign to show support: tinyurl.com/UCUSolidarityU… @UCU @UkraineSol
Vicky Blake UCU @vickyblake.bsky.social@zenscara

I organised with other members ahead of #UCUcongress to propose a positive programme of solidarity with Ukraine, focusing on education & humanitarian work. Very glad this (motion 6) passed but upset motion 5 carried without @LeedsUCU amendments. We'll publish a statement tomorrow

The outcomes for Congress are a great commitment to PGR members and the PGRs as staff campaign. But I don’t want us to have to repeatedly re-affirm this each year. PGR campaigning and support need to be a permanent fixture of UCU. @ucu @UCUPostgrads

In local @NewcastleUcu @NuAntiCas MAB action last year our claim included a demand for PGR contracts. We won. Contracts should be in place for September. @UCUPostgrads staff gave absolutely vital support. There’s still work to do. Congress’ support or PGRs is heartening
Dr Rhian Elinor Keyse (she/her)@drrhianelinor

All of this is an absolute testament to the work done by our incredibly talented @UCUPostgrads staff. Given everything they've achieved, you'd almost be forgiven for thinking they're a massive team and not two part time members of fractionalised staff on a fixed term job share 4/

@SolGamsu @PriyamvadaGopal @shakenbeck @CambridgeUCU For context: In response to the point about sector reserves, management at Newcastle explicitly asked how we thought UCU would convince Cambridge to share its wealth and redistribute it across the sector... I wonder if UCEA are briefing VCs on this line...

@PriyamvadaGopal @shakenbeck @CambridgeUCU Something from the endowment. Would have to come out of central uni fund, rather than colleges most likely. Suspect something could be possible. Redistribution within the sector is key ultimately. Even if it's not possible/they say no, I think it is worth making the argument

Do not underestimate the huge achievement of pushing Cambridge management who were a few weeks ago 'confirming' that UCEA had 'exhausted' all options now speaking the line we have always spoken--negotiations are the only way out. You did this, @CambridgeUCU

Austria’s entry is about the lack of female producers & songwriters in music, often reliant on “ghost” writers, and men ruling every aspect of the industry. “0.003” references the revenue per stream paid out on Spotify. multi layers of ingenuity here! #eurovision
