Ran out of the Kelvin Gallery at the end of the staff conference this afternoon to join my union branch at the main gate to call on #UCEA to #SettleTheDispute and pay up!

Emergency protests will hit UK university campuses tomorrow ahead of UCU's crunch talks with the employer body, UCEA.

UCU met with UCEA last week in an attempt to end the UK-wide university marking boycott and resolve the ongoing pay and working conditions dispute. Unfortunately, UCEA refused to table an improved pay offer or provide any redress for members who have been hit with punitive pay deductions.

Protests to hit UK universities tomorrow

Emergency protests will hit UK university campuses tomorrow ahead of UCU's crunch talks with UCEA.

In a new low, the University of Leeds is offering marking-and-assessment-boycott-busting marking to casualised research staff as a ‘career development opportunity.’
We also understand they are looking for external markers.
Alternatively, they could just #SettleTheDispute.

Student graduation speech from the Staff-Student Solidarity Network at #EdinburghUni, reflecting on ongoing industrial action #UCURising. Listen to the crowd 👀, I wonder whether they expected the senior leadership team to #SettleTheDispute ? #universities #Scotland

“just been told we won’t be getting degree classification or a degree title at graduation. £27,000 for a participation certificate off the back of a year and a half in covid, and a further year and a half of strikes🙃 @QUBelfast is this seriously the best you can do?”
