Do you want to take part in UCU strike action? Are you a teensy bit nervous because you’ve never picketed before? Would you like a picketing buddy? My DMs are open; I’d love to buddy up. I’ll be on the UCU picket lines on 24 (Reading), 25 (London) & 30th Sep (negotiation).

This isn't just an attack on our members. It is a bonfire of arts and humanities courses.

1. With the current rate of inflation at 11.1%, the pay of UCU staff has now been eroded by well over 20% compared to 2009.

BREAKING: Bill Galvin resigns as #USS director "I made a total mess with #USS. I fabricated a deficit to axe members' pension while my salary jumped to £756k. Now that even the trustee says @ucu is right, it's time for me to go. To all USS members I only want to say: sorry!"

As our dispute drags on, the mismatch between how universities claim things are and the conditions university staff are actually living becomes ever starker. A thread on rhetoric vs reality for striking English staff at the University of Bristol. #OneofUsAllOfUs #FourFights 1/8

Our guests @MatildaMoors (London Metropolitan), @zinovievletter (Royal College of Art) and Julia Crabtree (University of Reading) will be speaking about what pensions might mean in the context of the precarity of early career and hourly paid academics.

Unis have cut guaranteed pensions by 40% + hire staff on prolonged insecure & unfair Ts&Cs. Unis charge extortionate fees to students. This destroys mental health #UniMentalHealthDay VCs & principals need to stop gaslighting us by pretending to care. #OneOfUsAllOfUs #ucustrike

Today is #UniMentalHealthDay. A whole university approach is key to creating mentally healthy universities. Our #Stepchange programme aims to support this. Find out more 👉 loom.ly/Xzmcx4g

Huge solidarity to the beautifully creative & generous students & staff @RcaUcu. That the RCA senior management team intentionally broke a commitment made at ACAS is disgusting. They are trying to wear you down with these peaks & troughs. Shame on them & all power to you ✊🏾
Royal College of Art UCU ✊@RcaUcu

We will be on strike #FourFights 21/22 feb AND BACK on LOCAL #RCAstrike Mon 28 Feb-Fri 4 March. Today SMT failed to meet agreed deadline for providing a draft agreement. This failure to deliver breaks our trust and reneges on the commitment they made in ACAS #UCUstrike @ucu 🤬

Employers don’t just want us to be underpaid overworked, unfairly treated & at their beck & call (casualisation) during our working lives. No - they’re giving us a 35% cut to our guaranteed benefits so we can have an insecure, miserable retirement! #ucustrike #OneOfUsAllOfUs

Tomorrow, join 1000s of university staff across the UK on the picket line. We want fair wages, workloads & treatment, a stable job & a secure old age. Exploitation isn’t a model we will preserve for the next generation. Beep, bring us a cuppa/biscuit or just stand with us
