"being English requires Anglo-Saxon lineage"
Angles - a Germanic tribe
Saxons - i.e. from Saxony, in Germany
Sorry to those with Celtic, Nordic, or Norman lineage ... you're not English either!

ASOS which is "work in the same way you’ve done for years" is not irresponsible. It's protecting our members until a fair & equitable hybrid policy is agreed.
UCU SMT then deducting 100% of daily pay from staff taking ASOS & undermining its own policy?

Being disabled shouldn’t mean you’re on a lower wage, or that you’re afraid to ask for support at work because it could hit you financially.
Having a reasonable adjustment should never lead to a pay cut.
But this is what’s happening to some UCU staff right now.

We wondered last week whether @drjogrady.bsky.social would listen to @ucu.org.uk members, agree to unconditional talks & withdraw the threat of deductions for taking ASOS.

Unite's repeated requests for such talks have had no response. Will she now listen to @ucu.org.uk members?

Amazing bit of 2019 footage this.

And I suspect Farage will come to regret his quip at the end about Russians if it does the rounds again.
