USS Hilary Salt FirstActuarial Just think about what was 'supposed' to happen: we should have rolled over in 2018 because of "tough economic realities" (or some such phrase), only now would the surplus have appeared, and employers would have told us that the matter was settled. We didn't let them. #ucuRISING

UCEA previously ruled out negotiations while the boycott is ongoing, and this public statement marks the first time that a major institution and the local union branch have joined forces to call for talks to restart.

Payslips are out Liverpool John Moores University & we’re getting reports from lots of members of punitive MAB deductions starting before their marking came in - so for action they *did not* take. We encourage members to check payslips & contact payroll & ask LJMU to correct this immediately #ucuRISING

Next weeks industrial action by UCU is because the four fights dispute is still happening. The conditions that led to it are not resolved. Strikes are not because some branches have punitive deductions and others don't, or because some employers are 'bad' and others are 'good'.
