@drjogrady.bsky.social On BBC Radio 4 this morning our general secretary @drjogrady.bsky.social lays out the stark reality of the crisis facing our sector
"It is shameful that university cuts have become so severe under a Labour government that our union is now laying the ground for a trade union dispute with the education secretary." @drjogrady.bsky.social

βAt UEA, it is understood that 22 staff are earning more than Β£150k and 4 staff are on Β£205k. At a time when university managers are pushing through large-scale job cuts, this is frankly obsceneβ

All for the sake of the AskQM chatbot that nobody uses.
oh hi, would you look at that! That thing that staff have been saying for a while is the death knell of universities recognised as being the death knell of universities!
Great to be on the same page, but let's not pretend that loads of us put a lot of effort to make administrators see this for years

Compulsory redundancies are cruel and unnecessary.
Cardiff Met UCU have requested that Cardiff Met re-open their voluntary severance programme, or if necessary a VOLUNTARY redundancy programme across the whole university.
