* Finally, I don't see a lot of evidence that this is senior people banking the USS win and pulling up the drawbridge. At least in my experience, in the work unit i'm the UCU contact point for, its not been a sudden stop in voting from people who expect to benefit from USS.

* Very much a feeling of not being will to lend their voice to another mandate without an explaination of what will be done with it. Its all very well saying lets get the mandate, and then we will discuss what to do, but if you believe that you should do whatever your union asks, then given the decisions the decision making bodies tend to make, this is your oppuntity to enforce an opinion on whether you will be forced to strike against your judgement.

Thoughts on the UCU ballot failure:
* Lots of blame for the GS on socials. In members I speak to people are upset with the "leadership" its true. But to the extent they know, understand and care about the difference between the GS, HEC and congress (which is often , they have similarly negative feelings about all three. Very much "a pox on all your houses" vibe. A common feeling is that the stratgy was bad and the GS made it even worse with the implementation.

UK Uni Crisis
“The UK is on the brink of a nationwide degree scandal with no engagement from university management, who have abandoned academic standards, and no intervention from the government in sight.”

I don't see a way out of the #UCUStrike without either a government restructuring intervention (which will not happen), or (some) universities leaving the #UCEA collective pay agreement to up pay unilaterally (which #UCU will presumably oppose).

"Milions face disruption", what a disgraceful headline! 😠
Millions do face cuts in salaries, working conditions and pensions. That would be an accurate headline.

I'm on #strike today.
As an early career researcher on a fixed term contract, I understand why some colleagues might make a different choice, feeling that a lost day of work hurts their career personally more than it makes a statement to the university.
I think that's a bit backwards, though--when we stand together and make genuine sacrifices, that signals to our employers just now serious we are.
And don't you hope your colleagues at the next university you work at are fighting to improve conditions there as well?
#HigherEducation and #research is under attack in the UK (not to mention the US and elsewhere), and the only way we persuade governments and (certain) administrators who keep trying to squeeze more blood from the stone is to leverage the right to withdraw our labor to say #EnoughIsEnough.
We need real terms pay to stop falling. We need the same for our friends in the healthcare & rail sectors. We need the same for everyone.

Good to see that #UCL is keeping the policy we wrote in Laws in 2020 and pushed up to the centre, preventing departments from playing recordings in absence of lecturers when industrial action begins across all UK universities next week. ht @israblack #UCUStrike #lectureCapture #lecturecast
