@serenissimaj My understanding is that on the #FourFights, no immediate solution is possible: these always were procedural issues that can only be resolved in this way. You can't abolish casualisation or the pay gap by fiat. It's similar in the pensions dispute: it's not legally possible to put a figure on that now. The result on pay is disappointing, though.

On 24th and 25th November, university staff across the UK will be on #strikes to defend their #USS pension, and fight for better pay, working conditions and equality (#FourFights).

Please do not cross #pickets - nor the #DigitalPicket: i.e. no work-related social media posts (yes, that includes Mastodon!)

TAs & casualised academics are hugely exploited in UK higher education. This is why @UnisNotBorders@twitter.com supports the #FourFights & #UCUstrikes for better conditions. Read why here: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jun/26/university-staff-who-cant-afford-to-eat-ask-for-campus-food-banks
But this piece & @ucu@twitter.com should connect exploitation that migrant students face.🧵

RT @RebeccaBamford: Very worthwhile piece by @catherinerowett - relevant to #UCUstrike #FourFights discussions, as well as to thinking on impact of the loss of #EU membership.

I keep seeing people on here saying they have time to go to the GP because they're on strike/ASOS @ucu@twitter.com and think to myself, my god, what has this industry done to us when we can't have time see to our health and work at the same time? #OneOfUsAllOfUs #FourFights
