I'm thrilled that we made progress in our disputes with the employers & a resolution may be near, but there's still a way to go before we make up for the pay erosion of the last decade

#UCUCommons members are united in our view that to #endthechaos we need equitable student distribution across the sector to demolish employers’ arguments on affordability of pay rises

Please vote in the #UCUNEC election for the #UCU Commons slate to push for systemic change in our sector

If you haven't watched the #UCU hustings (the official one, not the dodgy rally by "UCU Left" pretending to be a hustings), please do!

Emma Battell Lowman & @DavidHarvie are the VP & Honorary Treasurer that our union needs. Serious, knowledgeable, compassionate, & goal-oriented.

Don't take my word for it. Watch the hustings & it's crystal clear who the most qualified candidates are.

Please vote David, Emma, & all the other excellent #UCUcommons candidates for #UCUNEC

Casualisation is a scourge of the HE sector. It is a disgrace that a "world-leading higher education" sector exploits the labour of people on precarious contracts, driving many to use food banks, even as they deliver incredible research & teaching for these unis.

The #UCUNEC Representative of Migrant Members position is incredibly important & I'm proud to endorse Matilda Fitzmaurice whose compassion, experience, & intelligence make her a stand out candidate for the job.
