Great turnout to start our strike!
Our pay rise is 5 months late. Study Group will not engage with us over improvements to our terms and conditions. We demand a fair cost of living pay rise and an end to zero hours. @ucu @sheffielducu @ShefTUC

Reform tried to shut down five care homes in Lancashire. UNISON and the community stood firm and stopped them.
We can defeat Farage and his hateful, anti-worker politics.
Huge well done to @NorthWestUNISON & local campaigners, showing the way✊

The University of Sheffield has stopped paying staff.
Not for striking but for refusing to work unpaid to make up for strike days they were already docked for.
This is punishment, not negotiation. And it’s completely reckless.

Congratulations @USIC_UCU!
Let’s end this uncertainty & disruption @cardiffuni!
We don’t want to do industrial action.
You don’t want us to.
There is an alternative!

If elected as UNISON General Secretary; I won't accept the full £166,000 pay package. Instead, I will take the pay of a social worker and ensure the rest of the money goes to UNISONs Industrial Action Fund and our There For You charity! My pay goes up when your pay goes up!✊

🚨Over 300 staff threatened with the sack at Coventry University
Those who stay to be forced to work for a subsidiary company with new staff unable to access TPS.
Our members at @CoventryUCU have our full backing & a strike ballot is on the cards.

We've written to the prime minister today calling for his government to increase the rate of statutory sick pay, £116 a week is not enough to survive. Alongside 23 other unions we are saying:

🚨 This A&E nurse is right...
“All we're getting is that we're not working hard enough, we're not working fast enough, we're not seeing enough people”

How many students like Mohammed will defend their thesis during a genocide? How many Palestinian students were not given a chance to finish their education?
Palestinians have the highest literacy rate in the world. They deserve an education and a life free of Israeli terror. 🇵🇸
mohammed hussein~Gaza 🇵🇸@mohammedIhysse
I prepared and defended my master's thesis amidst the sounds of bombing and terror during the Gaza war, to send a message to the world that we in Gaza deserve life and are waiting for the sun of freedom. We are waiting for the world to see us 💔.

It's time for a New Deal for Further Education ⏰
👉 Parity with schoolteacher pay
👉 A minimum starting salary of £30k
👉 National agreements on workload
👉 National bargaining
For too long FE staff have been undervalued and under-rewarded.
We need a #NewDealForFE 🚨

@ucu @ucuprisoned Andrew is right, the prison education system is criminal
Prison Education should NEVER be FOR PROFIT
And yet it is!
Lock it away and throw away the 🗝️
Let’s get it back under the DfE!

Prison education is in crisis. Underfunded and undervalued.
It plays a crucial role in the prevention of re-offending.

College leaders are right to call on the chancellor to tackle the recruitment crisis in further education
The government needs to use the Budget to properly fund the sector
If FE colleges were VAT exempted this year it could help close the pay gap 👇
