Nailed it! University workers are not autonomous and free to work whatever they want when they want, and universities take advantage. ‘Illegal’ terms and conditions add to academic overwork crisis timeshighereducation.com/new… via @timeshighered

Presumably this is woke ideology like... believing everyone should be able to pursue a career in science free from bigotry. Is there a particular course in bigotry that the tories are recommending? Can I get a BSc in Being a Hateful Twat?? Presumably that's the recommendation?

Stopping HE workers from taking strike action will accelerate erosion of opportunity available to vast majority of students. It will vandalise rather than protect provision. Of course, this is what tories want. Education a luxury commodity with no democracy of access or delivery.

This is a spiteful attack on workers everywhere from a party that has run out of options & will soon be run out of office. We will not stand by while Tory MPs try to force our members to cross their own picket lines. And the whole movement will be with us.

Democracy isn't. It's always going to be a rough approximation. Representation by a small number of delegates or a wider eballot with partial wording and no chance for nuanced debate, they're neither option great. But every time I see 'democracy' in a motion I sigh.

As a final year student, approaching an exam season which will determine 100% of my final grade, this *will* be disruptive. But I support it, and here’s why students should stand with @UCU as they continue industrial action #UCURising

The marking and assessment boycott begins today. All UCU members should boycott any marking and assessment processes that contribute to summative assessment until further notice. The threats of disproportionate deductions from employers demonstrate the power of the boycott.

Again, if a man in the UK wants to be able to assault women with freedom and impunity, he doesn't need to go through the long and difficult process of transitioning, he can just become a police officer instead.

I'm sorry, WTF? QMU are you actually shitting me? Let me get this straight, staff are on strike over workload, pay and conditions, and you're... refusing to pay them if they don't go back and make up lost work from valid strike action? Oh, go and do one.

In another packed branch meeting, members overwhelmingly voted to take local strike action in response to management confirming they will deduct 26 days for the 6 days of strike in February. #ucuRISING
I am writing to you in relation to University expectations for making up education following industrial action. You will be aware that the University has confirmed that partial performance is not accepted, and that where education lost as a result of strike action is not made up, this will be deemed to be partial performance for which a deduction of 100% of pay will be made on the basis of 1/365 of salary for the period of partial performance. The Faculty supports the de-prioritisation of other activity to provide sufficient time for lost education to be made up. I understand that you have not yet confirmed that lost education arising from one or more of the February 2023 strike days (1st, 9th, 10th, 14th, 15th and 16th ) has been made up. Please confirm by return email that education has been made up – or has been agreed to be made up by a deadline confirmed and accepted by your Head of School/Institute or their delegate - by Friday 31st March 2023. Confirmation that lost educ

In addition to this 👇, one other remarkable (= infuriating) aspect is that normally staff can only make changes to assessment modes 18+months in advance bc of “consumer market”. But industrial action? Change your learning outcomes at a moment’s notice? Sure!

And I do want to say this as a teacher, examiner and a current Chair of Examiners: the care and rigour and thoughtfulness with which we mark is exemplary. Extraordinary even. Nice to see the contempt that hard work is held in by our management.
