I gave a half-hour update on #USS to Open University UCU yesterday, trying to cram as much in as possible. If you need to get up to speed on things ahead of the upcoming strikes and reballot, then you can watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=Igb5Yk…

Here's Nottingham getting started. Any other #BikesOnPickets? #UCUStrike

Our online rally for today, on pensions, starts at 11.30. Grab a coffee and a hot cross bun and join us. Everyone welcome - it's an open webinar. We'd love to have you there. ucu.open.ac.uk/events/online-…

Free Mimmo! As mayor of Riace, Mimmo Lucano welcomed refugees and rejuvenated his dying town. For this act of solidarity, he faces 13 years in Italian prison. Now, we are fighting back — building a global coalition to free Mimmo and stand up for refugee solidarity. Join us:

Not day 3 of #UCUstrike #OneOfUsAllOfUs Open University UCU Year 4! Still angry, still exploited, still trying to protect our pensions from USS very shady formula which is tantamount to wage theft!

Getting lots of support today! Great to have UMUCU with us at Manchester Open University UCU picket for #UCUstrike #OneOfUsAllOfUs In solidarity!

Supporting the Open University UCU Sharston picket again (I'm taking the photo). A *lot* more honking-in-support this time. Maybe it was the nice weather? Or the P&O thing? Or maybe everyone in the country has watched Sam Marsh's talk about the USS rip-off: youtube.com/watch?v=Igb5Yk…

More good news that demonstrates the strength of our collective response! Management have now confirmed to us in writing that no deductions will be made in March for not rescheduling classes cancelled due to the strike. This is an important first victory for the campaign.

Not one, but two fabulous Teach-Outs coming up today At 2 pm - Julia Downes on Sexual Violence in HE At 3 pm - Deepa Driver on USS and Financialisation

We're now hearing from Janet Farrar UCU about what's going on in FE. FE has had an increase in base rate funding recently, so arguments from the Association of Colleges can't now say that they can't afford pay rises for FE staff.

Our next rally guest is Arshad Ahmad from Unite the union: join a union a Night Porter at Whipps Cross Hospital. Pay justice, respect & equality - negotiations have helped to resolve the dispute. All services will be brought in house next year, all staff on NHS terms & conditions. 🙌

Massive shout out live over the airwaves from members Birmingham UCU Thank you so much.

Astonishing lack of engagement by Goldsmith's leadership. The dispute won't just go away, even if you ignore it. #GoldStrike #LoveGoldsmithsUCU

If this is correct, £13.5 million annual cost to The Open University of paying down a USS deficit that basically doesn't exist 🤯 Is there an alternative universe where this makes sense? 🚀🪐 #USSMess #OneOfUsAllOfUs
