I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD. University bosses are rattled. Across the UK they are threatening UCU members with unfair and immoral pay deductions if they take part in action short of striking. This thread exposes every single one of them #ucuRISING

At a cost, estimated by the Cabinet Office to be up to £180,000,000 per decade, this law to force people to bring photo ID to vote is an expensive distraction from the problems the country faces. Add your name here: ers.tools/voter-id

Today, @theRCN has announced the first national strike in its 106-year history. Nurses across the UK are underpaid and overworked. They’re not just fighting for themselves – they’re fighting for our NHS. RT if you’re behind them 💙

Quite incredible that @BirkbeckUoL which has a mere £108 million in reserves & last year bought the Student Central building for £35m is so skint it has to lay off 140 staff. This is horrendous academic vandalism - full solidarity with @BirkbeckUCU ucu.org.uk/article/12591/Bir…

#NoToSelfID is currently trending. Those who oppose it, are those who purposely misrepresent it to justify their Transphobia. They don’t want it reformed, as they know it exposes their lies. Here’s what it actually does…

Any academics out there who work on race/racism/class/identity/inequality etc. fancy coming to South London this academic year to deliver one-off sessions to some really engaged sixth formers, as part of a sociology enrichment curriculum 'Race, Class & Society'?
