Our ballot results are in!

-63% of members voted
-84% of voting members said YES to action short of strike
-72% of voting members said YES to strike action

Which means our call for industrial action has passed and we have a mandate to fight back!

Today's university with the redundancies is Birmingham City, which is getting rid of 340 jobs. Every day in Higher Education is like this. It's madness. When will someone - anyone - call a halt? www.timeshighereducation.com/news/birming...
Birmingham City to axe 340 roles as it shifts focus to teaching

My 28yr old said she feels too old this time. She’s currently lying on the floor listening to rod stewart in the background.

“Corruption or incompetence, which is it?”

I, for one, simply cannot fathom why UK Higher Education is facing an enormous financial black hole, which will lead to major academic & support staff redundancies.

"Number of senior university staff earning £100k doubles in four years" inews.co.uk/news/number-...
Number of senior university staff earning £100k doubles in four years
The research comes after an i investigation found that university bosses claimed at least £1m in expenses in the past two years
