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?

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.

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.
Solidarity with everyone taking strike action today!
There's a lot: teachers, junior doctors, civil servants and public sector workers, Amazon workers (in Coventry), London Tube workers, university staff, and many others. Together we can win! #PayStrikes #strike
