Where is the money?
@qmul haven't paid many cleaners their overtime since August; unions haven’t had their Facilities Time paid since August; many Teaching Associates & Teaching Fellows have not had any pay in September. All since the new financial year.
ALT Where is the money? Cleaners, teaching associates, and trade unions haven’t had any of the money that isn’t part of the regular payroll since the beginning of the new financial year Where is the money?

Between them, politicians and employers are destroying our great higher education sector.
We won't sit back and let it happen.

An important intervention from @JessicaToale on the cuts proposed at Bournemouth University.
We welcome this support and urge university management to engage meaningfully with staff and students.
Cuts to jobs and courses hurt local communities, there is another way. @UCUBU

Careers of brilliant & dedicated academics are being ended up and down the country, but for tthe failed leaders who destroy universities, there's always another sinecure down the road. Good work if you can get it, I suppose.

Our demands are simple:
- a 10%/£3000 pay rise
- parity with schoolteacher pay in 3 years
- a minimum starting salary of £30k
The new government must put FE at the heart of its plans.

Agree (for once)
Make sure to look at the UCU account/ blog of the university you are applying to. This will indicate what your learning conditions will be like.
Also, have a look to see if @UniversitiesUK members are sacking many of the staff who will teach & support you…

"We would encourage students to research all options available to them ahead of results day and to have a plan ready."
