[@SOAS] University Docks Pay From Lecturer for Strike While He Was Having Heart Surgery Punitive? Vindictive? Union-busting? Negligent? Callous? Grossly incompetent? All of the above? #ucuRISING #SettleTheDispute novaramedia.com/2023/08/18/u…

Among the pathologies of the UK HE system is the way in which its hypercentralisation deflects responsibility from indivudal VCs. This ability to hide one's failure behind "sector wide" issues, is attractive to not only the greedy and incompetent, but also the cowardly.

We received an email from @KingsCollegeLon on the 'encouraging news' of #USS valuation. No mention about wrong #USS assumptions and how these have been reversed thanks to #UCU pressure. Let's remember it - solidarity and well done to everyone striking! #ucuRISING

We hope to see more of these student-staff solidarity actions across universities and at KCL! @liberatekcl @occupation_hub #ucuRISING
🚨646 University of York students call for their Vice Chancellor to do more to help settle the dispute. These students firmly “stand with those participating in the MAB.” Students know that the blame lies with university bosses. 📰 rb.gy/lqqyd #ucuRISING

Seeing students continue to stand in solidarity with us is so touching ❤️ Taking action is always a last resort. We've been telling our employers about the crisis in higher education for years now. It's on @UCEA1 to settle this dispute round the negotiating table. #ucuRISING

Solidarity to all #ucu members for the last five years of fighting and striking - our pressure is working! The fight on pay, precarity, and inequality goes on #ucuRISING
🚨BREAKING   We can confirm that USS is £7.4bn in surplus, and we are on track to restore  UCU members pensions and significantly reduce the cost of their monthly contributions   We’ll use the coming months to ensure employers fulfil their obligations   Your action did this 💪

The Vice-chancellor @EdinburghUni spent £13k on business class flights to represent the university. He has a £400k salary, same as @KingsCollegeLon's VC. How can universities claim they don't have money to pay their workers? #SettleTheDispute tinyurl.com/y5ah3jmv

theguardian.com/business/202… When your industry structurally depends on people doing more work than they are supposed to, you know something's got to change. Transport, education, health care... all depend on overtime (paid or unpaid) by the people who work in these sectors.

If five years of industrial action weren't enough, @KingsCollegeLon Staff Survey has just confirmed that KCL workers are overworked and underpaid: 84% of staff believe they do more than is required of them in their jobs and only 39% believe their pay is reasonable.

I was so proud to do this speech today. Solidarity ✊
This is so powerful. Students are finishing university with TBC instead of grades and staff are still receiving punitive salary deductions. The bosses could have ended this dispute well before graduations. This is all on you, @UCEA1. #ucuRISING

Shameful @aberdeenuni's management who tracked @ucu lecturers participating in the MAB - the action is unlawful and breached data protection laws #MAB #ucuRISING #dataprotection
