Managers are always keen to claim the ‘sector wide challenges’ as if they have no agency but someone still is making decisions (+ claiming the six-figure salaries for that ‘responsibility’). And their paths to decision are made very opaque.

Our branch report into SHU's finances calls for a public enquiry into decision making at the university. There may be sector-wide challenges but at SHU one of the issues is governance. The report is here: ucuhallam.org

'More than 1,000 staff will be affected as Cardiff University undertakes a “massive” restructuring of its professional services team.'
After all, it's a policy that is/has gone so very swimmingly well at every other university that's implemented it...

Very strong turnout this morning on the first of our five days strike.
On Friday, in a meeting with the interim Principal, he confirmed his ideology is to cut as many jobs as possible.

Just voted in the @ucu.org.uk pay and conditions ballot. Voted YES.
I’m sick of worsening pay and conditions. I’m sick of working in a constant state of crisis. I’m sick of the exploitative, careless leadership in this sector.
I’m looking forward to fighting back with @ucu-ulster.bsky.social

This action covers all parts of the College — academic, technical, administrative, and operational.
It’s about fairness, dignity, and pay that keeps pace with the cost of living.

Overcrowded lectures. Growing admin. Unpredictable numbers.
On LBC last night, Jo Grady spoke about how higher education workloads are becoming inherently stressful.
This ballot is our chance to say: enough.
Vote YES for manageable workloads and fair pay.
