Hello Anton Muscatelli ! Could you explain how we can possibly be #WorldChangingGlasgow when 8% of your staff (#TeamUofG) are within 90 days of redundancy? #OneOfUsAllOfUs #USSMess

Dear University of Glasgow colleagues I'm afraid that we communicated incorrect information regarding our VC's salary. Our VC earns ยฃ368k according to 2021 financial statement, not ยฃ363k as previously thought. Sincere apologies for underestimating your wealth Anton Muscatelli, won't happen again ๐

Hello Anton Muscatelli During the pandemic you asked and we gave and gave and gave. Now we are asking you, and we are still waiting for an answer, as to why you agreed to slash our pensions by over 35% while you earn ยฃ368K pa. #TeamUofG #WorldChangingGlasgow #OneOfUsAllOfUs #USSMess

Hello Anton Muscatelli ! Me again Over 90% of GTAs at @UofG work 2-4 times more prep hours than theyโre paid for - unsustainable & then 1,149 staff at risk of redundancy How are you going to make sure they continue to be part of #TeamUofG #WorldChangingGlasgow #OneOfUsAllOfUs #FourFights

Hello Anton Muscatelli ! Time to value teaching! 2019 UCU survey data shows: On av PT & hr paid teachers are doing 45% of their work w/out pay. 71% believed their mental health had been damaged by working on insecure contracts. #TeamUofG #WorldChangingGlasgow #OneOfUsAllOfUs #FourFights

Hi Anton Muscatelli. Do you know the effect that precarity has? Not knowing if youโll have a job; not able to make any life plans; absolutely no security? Thatโs my reality since finishing PhD 4.5 years ago. How can we be #WorldChangingGlasgow if #TeamUofG labour under these conditions?

Hello Anton Muscatelli! 68% of research academics in the UK are on fixed-term contracts. That number includes myself. Fixed term contracts are bad for staff, bad for students. How are you going to make sure we can continue to be part of #TeamUofG ? #WorldChangingGlasgow #FourFights

Thisโฌ๏ธI'm on my 7th fixed-term contract in 4 years (not inc. GTA work during my PhD) and like many others, idk how much longer I can cope with the impact of precarity. We need change. Anton Muscatelli #WorldChangingGlasgow #TeamUofG #FourFights

Dear Anton Muscatelli, for 7 years I was one of 68% of UK HE research staff on fixed-term contracts. Today there are 1,149 staff at risk of redundancy University of Guelph. How will you ensure that they feel valued by #TeamUofG in a way that I never did? #WorldChangingGlasgow #OneOfUsAllOfUs #FourFights

Hello Anton Muscatelli, more terrible statistics: 68% of UK research academics are on fixed-term contracts @UofG is complicit with 1,149 staff at risk of redundancy The uni thrives on a precarity model that breaks people Who is #TeamUofG if not the workers? #OneOfUsAllOfUs #FourFights โฌ

Hi again Anton Muscatelli! Staff at HE institutions, including University of Glasgow, have experienced an average decrease of 17.6% in salaries against inflation since 2009 How much has your salary decreased? Who knew changing the world paid so little? #WorldChangingGlasgow #TeamUofG #FourFights

Hi Anton Muscatelli (can I call you Anton - Iโve tweeted you enough). Unfortunately Iโm not on picket with colleagues today because Iโm wracked with anxiety & having to mentally prepare to go back to my precarious fixed term job tomorrow. Reality of #worldchangingglasgow & being #TeamUofG

Hello Anton Muscatelli! Staff at HE institutions, including University of Glasgow, display: 15.1% #paygap between men and women 17% #paygap between black and white staff 9% disability #paygap Is this part of the strategy for #WorldChangingGlasgow #TeamUofG ? #FourFights
