Many of our members now rely on food banks. The imposed payrise was a paycut. What else would we do if we weren’t balloting? Play their board games? @qm_ucu @UCEA1 @QMUL @UoLUnison @SOASUNISON @KCLUnison @UNISONmmu @UnisonMcr @unison_bristol @SussexUnison @LivHopeUnison
Replying to @UNISONinHE
Without a mandate for industrial action our power is significantly weakened, so the unions will not give up their right to run ballots to obtain that mandate up front for a period of 12 months, and believe it is unreasonable of UCEA to expect them to do so.

As others have said, if you are a UCU member & are confused or angry about last week’s rollercoaster, this is worth a read in thinking about what counts as ‘democracy’ in this context: notesfrombelow.org/article/u…

In light of this WIDENING gender pay gap, surprising to receive email from @EdinburghNapier Dep VC saying “over recent yrs we have made considerable progress” on gender equality - w/invite to ‘promotions workshop’ as if it is US who need to learn/improve. #ucuRISING
Thanks to our @EisNapier friends for timely reminder on #IWD23 that @EdinburghNapier pay gap is growing: 3.45% in 2019, 6.23% in 2020&21 to a shameful 8.93% in 2022. @EisNapier have organised #IWD23 event online & at Sighthill at 1pm today. All welcome. Message us for details.
