.@UCL is hoarding millions while refusing outsourced security staff basic rights and pay. Today we’re breaking into UCL’s £90,000,000 annual surplus treasure chest! 🎈🪅 There are no excuses: IN HOUSE NOW. #SecurityStrike #NationalDayOfAction #1FebStrike

Universities have built a business model that relies on our members doing work for free whilst paying them 25% less than they did in 2009. It’s not sustainable. It’s not acceptable. And our members aren’t having it anymore. Everybody out. #ucuRISING

ONCE AGAIN: March 2020 was a period of high volatility, but was used as a premise for savage cuts (now proven to have been a vast overreaction). Where was the "degree of caution" there, @USSpensions? Truly awful scheme management. #USSmess

Replying to @JosephineCumbo
However, the #USS said market conditions had remained highly volatile since 31 March this year & as a result, the exact position of the Scheme at the end of September "cannot be established with any certainty" with the most recent figures to be viewed with a "degree of caution".
