  1. I didn't know this #employer behaviour was #legal. #Staff who worked extensive hours unpaid (no overtime pay) but when they demanded #fairpay & didn't get it, they reduced their work by 10%. For this they were docked 100% of pay. I was flabbergasted to read that the 90% the workers did was considered to be #voluntary by the #university. Of course, they weren't told that in advance. Meanwhile the management get enormous salaries & perks. ucu.org.uk/article/13319/Union #unions #highereducaton #academic

  2. @kgravett Nice to meet you! I made a research of constitutional grounds of university autonomy. If it can help you, feel free to ask, I'll be glad to share :)

  3. I've worked in IT since the late 90's and have generally tried to stay in the Linux/BSD space during that time (Windows Server has great uses also and actually liking 11, tbh; and Apple/Mac is nice too, and old enough to have maintained PPC and Intel OSX Servers; also).

    Life these days basically centers around work and hanging in the community surrounding that institution.
