This leadership needs to change! We are calling on all our members to boycott activities, events and research with the @theRSAorg until they negotiate and resolve this bitter pay and pensions dispute with @RsaUnion #BoycottRSA @IWGBunion

It is all well and good that @ucu were able to protect members’ pensions, but are you aware that investments from @USSpensions directly fund the Israeli apartheid and genocide currently taking place in #Palestine?

Just when you think @uniofbrighton can't sink any lower... After assuring this deaf international Masters student that their needs can be met, and taking their money, UoB now say that they will have to leave the programme because there's no funding for an interpreter! Just 🤯
