Senior managers carrying out cuts at @uniofbrighton will be systematically named & shamed until the threat of compulsory redundancy is taken off the table. This week we targeted @ProfRJaspal, who will be next? It's time to show the SMT up for who they really are #SaveBrightonUni

📢Calling all comrades📢
Serial gaslighter & SMT axeman @ProfRJaspal is giving the keynote at #ECP2023. He has taunted staff getting deducted 100% of their salary with pics of himself drinking cocktails. He supports the cuts

Management @uniofbrighton are deducting 100% of wages of staff participating in the national Marking and Assessment Boycott. They said if we do any work at all it will be voluntarily, so technically it is a lockout. #UoBSolidarity #BrightonUniStrike #UCU #MAB
markabel retweeted
Not only have we started 2 weeks of strike action today after receiving 100% deductions for the MAB
The @uniofbrighton academic year 2023/24 will not begin until Debra Humphris drops her threat of compulsory redundancies
We will strike INDEFINITELY from 3 July to #SaveBrightonUni

@UCU members passed a motion that demanded, ‘Russian troops out, No to Nato escalation and expansion’

"These staff members are the heart of the university, who have been undervalued for too long . It is about time that management start investing in retaining the incredible staff members they have, rather than vanity projects." 3/4

"Their commitment to their students, along with the passion they bring to teaching has been an inspirational. If it were not for them, I would never have dreamed of doing a PhD and for that I am eternally grateful." 2/4

The @uniofbrighton think expensive buildings are more important than staff. Our students disagree! A testimony 🧵
"From my undergraduate right through to my PhD, the lecturers in the Humanities department at Brighton University have been nothing short of spectacular." 1/4

Thanks to all UCU branches & members who have written to us as HEC about strike action & the General Secretary's pause. An unprecedented volume of emails to us arise from key and frank branch discussions. Thank you for your continued defence of democracy in UCU.
