I was due to be presenting at the ALN conference today but won't be there due to indefinite strike action with Leeds University UCU. We're fighting against the 100% pay deductions for staff taking part in MAB. #ALN23 . Please donate to our fighting fund if you can: leedsucu.org.uk/support-and-be…

Striking alongside LeedsUniUnison in the sunshine for fair pay, job security, equal pay and fair workloads. Leeds University UCU remains on indefinite strike because of senior management's hard-line mishandling of the marking and assessment boycott. #ucuRISING

Surplus in Higher Education this year is £2,600,000,000. The highest it has been for at least four years. Staff expenditure has hit a record low (51%). These two facts are directly linked.

Today Leeds University UCU & @uolunison strikers leaflet & politely explain our dispute to prospective students at University of Leeds Open Day.
The VC has hugely underestimated the impact of the MAB & now strike caused by SMT intransigence.
