'following consultation with the member of staff with a view to reaching an agreement' to 'will be determined by the line manager / department' This could open the door to change your working days and hours at a whim. This can affect anyone - don't sign away your rights

A nasty surprise was a new set of terms and conditions that had not been discussed with the unions at all. A huge red flag in thesse is the switch from the current reference to how working hours and days are decided…

🧵Staff across the University have received their revised contracts today either by email or in hastily called meetings. As a reminder these contracts are a result of Uni management ignoring the unions and making offers directly to staff.

The way Uni of Birmingham have handled these Unison University of Birmingham Branch negotiations is despicable - inviting individual staff members to “choose” new Ts&Cs for a £700 one-off bonus (in a cost of living crisis) or see how negotiations pan out when it’s clear the employer is just chancing 🤮🤬

How UCEA have the gall to talk about the moral duty of employers to dock 100% pay for the marking and assessment boycott? They seem bent on destroying #HE . At the very least they will render themselves irrelevant if they don’t find the means to #SettleTheDispute #ucuRISING

Had 50% of my pay deducted in Jun-Jul. My workload is 125% (c 450 unpaid hrs) & I lose 80hrs of annual leave I can never take. Year-on-year. So, I work for free a lot & yet am docked for participating in action short of strike. The system is broken and so am I #settlethedispute

Wearing sashes that say hands off our tutors & shouting 'no cuts, pay your staff' University of Brighton students showed their solidarity with us at graduation! They hold senior managers in contempt for the attacks on staff. Together we'll win #SaveBrightonUni #brightonforever #ucuRISING

New payslip, more deductions. In this year alone I have lost £4.5K for taking part in @Ucu industrial action to fight against increasingly dire working conditions in academia. Nothing good will come of this punitive wage theft; employers need to stop deductions now + negotiate

Chalking team outside McEwan Hall today had *plenty* of ideas to #SettleTheDispute
Listen up Raj Jethwa, it's time for UCEA to move!

Solidarity to UCU A direct message to the university management. Docking the pay of your employees is a vindictive provocation when what is needed is for you to take responsibility & get serious about negotiating a decent settlement. #SettleTheDispute

Should have been our Debs facing up to the contempt students and workers have for University of Brighton management, but she went AWOL and left it for others to deputise - as usual.

Now Rusi Jaspal knows what it’s like to be sent to the wolves by your boss……

Thank you to the students who wore sashes supportive of the UCU at today's English graduation. It means so much more than you might imagine - to take your special day and help support an argument for justice is a huge gesture to make. Your act was very much appreciated.

Thank you so much to Aizuddin Mohamed Anuar who has just taken industrial action by donating to our MAB Hardship fund with the following message:

'I'm sharing my wage because solidarity, as is love, is an action, rather than simply a feeling'

Huddersfield Uni has £179m in the bank

But it's trying to push through a mass sacking of staff who should be enjoying their summer holiday

Vice-chancellor Bob Cryan takes home over £400k. He is being rewarded for abject failure
