There is no trade-off between pay and jobs. Don't let the employers fool you otherwise. This dispute is on three things:
1.Pay uplift = at least RPI+3.5% or £2,500, on all pay points
2.Protection of national agreements on T&C's
3.A national agreement to protect jobs & subjects

VCs don’t run universities.
We do.
After another real terms pay cut, UCU is launching a UK-wide strike ballot.
Ballot opens October.
Vote YES.

Hey fellow historians. If you feel, as I do, that the American Historical Association needs serious change, I would consider voting for this slate in the current election.

On Monday in Turin I will discuss the launch of an important documentary.
It tells the story of the CALP - a collective of dock workers in Genoa - who, for many years, have been refusing to load ships carrying weapons. True anti-militarist praxis.
Check for 'Portuali' online in the future.
