Thanks to everyone who attended our last branch meeting of the year! What a mad 6 weeks. A very big THANK YOU to our negotiators. The campaign is escalating, with threats of industrial action and new information to share in the new year on the reasons for these cuts. 1/5

A well attended Branch EGM today voted unanimously (bar 1 abstention) on a motion of no confidence in the @oxford_brookes VC and on the following motion on redundancies and closures @ucu. We contest the financial predictions, the 'consultation' process, and the redundancies.

AoC recommends a 6.5% pay award.
The money is there for a decent pay rise.
Every single FE member now needs to vote YES and hold employers' feet to the fire.

After 5 years, I'm stepping down as a @Bristol_UCU Branch Officer - hopefully, I've helped a few people along the way, tried to save a few jobs and spent too flipping long assembling the bloody banner! Here's a few memories ...

Solidarity with @NEUSouthWest #TeacherStrikes ✊
"under-valued, under-paid and under pressure"
"budgets being cut"
"we can't recruit staff"
We think our members know what this feels like, too.

🚨NEW: Yet another university calls for @UCEA1 to restart negotiations
Well done to @lshtmUCU & @LSHTM 👏👏
Staff, students and more and more bosses are demanding @UCEA1 gets back to the table
Time for UCEA to wake up⏰
Full statement: lshtm.ac.uk/aboutus/organisa…
#ucuRISING
ALT 'Well done to LSHTM's executive team and UCU branch for jointly calling on UCEA to restart negotiations. Despite UCEA's attempts to downplay the impact of the marking boycott, it is now abundantly clear that students will only be able to progress once this dispute is settled. Staff, students, and increasingly UCEA's own member institutions are demanding it gets back to the negotiating table, UCEA desperately needs to start listening and fix its national degree scandal.'
