Sending so much solidarity to @BrunelUCU (and the #LittleTradeUnionTrolley! 🛒) on your first day of pickets! Shameful managers are showing so little respect for staff dignity that it has to come to this.

🚨 The University of Cambridge has failed at the High Court in its attempt to restrict pro-Palestine protest for five years. This is a major victory for our democratic rights. Our statement 👇

'Simply obscene'. UCU comment on Stirling Principal's 40% £119k pay rise over 2 years making him highest paid VC in Scotland on £414,000 plus benefits. Salaries like this when we're facing funding challenges and redundancies across HE are unconscionable scotsman.com/education/the-s…

Vice-chancellors are addicted to year-on-year cycles of redundancies. But you cannot cut your way to growth. Universities must listen to UCU, invest in staff & build student provision. If they refuse, they pave the way for significant industrial unrest. ft.com/content/77f7f221-3c3b…
