UCU members at The University of Manchester have started a two week strike, in protest of the excessive 50%-66% deductions for participation in marking boycott. This merges into the national #UCURising #FourFights strike next week (pay, workload, equality, casualisation), which still await an offer from the employers.
This is a local industrial action in welcome week which the University of Manchester senior leadership team should be able to respond to by making a serious offer.

Advice & motivational soundbites, please, for Year 1 undergraduate son who's been SO looking forward to today, 1st day at #UniversityOfGlasgow but de-flated by #IndustrialAction.
Disclaimer: I'm a UK academic who fully supports #UCURising and a parent of the #Covid generation. A tough identity to reconcile. Trying to turn industrial dispute into a sociological learning opportunity but my son is not quite on the same wavelength!

CW: UK #ucuRising Industrial Disputes
@serenissimaj My understanding is that on the #FourFights, no immediate solution is possible: these always were procedural issues that can only be resolved in this way. You can't abolish casualisation or the pay gap by fiat. It's similar in the pensions dispute: it's not legally possible to put a figure on that now. The result on pay is disappointing, though.
