#Lancaster colleages, today is the last safe day to post your ballot.
A strong mandate is our best option. At many institutions, CRs were withdrawn after ballots for industrial action with high participation and strong results.

Imperial staff have had enough.
A 2% below-inflation offer from one of the wealthiest universities in the UK is an insult to every worker who keeps it running.
Today we strike for fair pay, decent conditions, and respect ✊🔥
As more of my valued colleagues face the threat of redundancy, here’s a quick reminder that it takes years and years of public investment to train an academic. Cutting someone with this wealth of experience loose isn’t “saving” anything. It is a massive waste of our collective resources.

What will it be like to work or study at Lancaster University, if the current plans to fire 1 out of 4 staff members are implemented? How will these impact local communities and businesses? And who will be held accountable?

Earlier this week #Lancaster UCU joined 46 other UCU branches across the country demanding Jo Grady to treat our Unite colleagues with the same respect we demand from our employers. End this cynism and hypochresy, @drjogrady.bsky.social It's not a good look.
#WeAreTheUniversity
#Lancaster, we have a choice: we can give our everything to stop CRs and the collapse of @lancasteruni.bsky.social, or we can submit to Senior Management's plans and see LU crumble before our eyes. There is no second chance.
VOTE IN THE BALLOT. RECLAIM YOUR CHANCE!
