“We were absolutely gobsmacked.”

48 courses axed, music, languages, mental health care, childcare.
No consultation. No vision.

This is why we’re voting YES, to stop the destruction of our universities.

'More than 1,000 staff will be affected as Cardiff University undertakes a “massive” restructuring of its professional services team.'

After all, it's a policy that is/has gone so very swimmingly well at every other university that's implemented it...

Very strong turnout this morning on the first of our five days strike.

On Friday, in a meeting with the interim Principal, he confirmed his ideology is to cut as many jobs as possible.

Support our action to save jobs and save the University!

Well said - it’s time to fight back and demand better.

Vote YES! #WeAreTheUniversity
Just voted in the @ucu.org.uk pay and conditions ballot. Voted YES.

I’m sick of worsening pay and conditions. I’m sick of working in a constant state of crisis. I’m sick of the exploitative, careless leadership in this sector.

I’m looking forward to fighting back with @ucu-ulster.bsky.social

Imperial UCU members are on strike today and tomorrow.
This action covers all parts of the College — academic, technical, administrative, and operational.
It’s about fairness, dignity, and pay that keeps pace with the cost of living.

Universities are taking in more than ever through student fees but staff pay has fallen year after year.

It’s time to change that.

Vote YES.

Overcrowded lectures. Growing admin. Unpredictable numbers.

On LBC last night, Jo Grady spoke about how higher education workloads are becoming inherently stressful.

This ballot is our chance to say: enough.
Vote YES for manageable workloads and fair pay.

Universities would not function without support staff. A 1.4% pay offer is an insult to their hard work and dedication. All staff deserve better than a real-terms pay cut.

The UNISON pay ballot for industrial action opens TODAY. VOTE YES for industrial action. #fundourfuture #fundourpay
