Northumbria University staff announce 10 more days of strikes in pensions row UCU members at Northumbria University have confirmed that they will take another 10 days of strike action, as a dispute over an alleged 'pension grab' continues

As @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social say in this article - we don't want to be on strike and our door is open to talk to management @northumbriauni.bsky.social. But our members (and any right-thinking people) will never accept pay and pension injustice! www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

Would love to read it right now - alas, too much admin atm…

Awesome scenes at another @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social picket line today @northumbriauni.bsky.social. We were delighted and humbled to welcome student Sam, who brought biscuits, and gave a great speech in support of staff. 🫶

Zoom in. See what people (ordinary people, passing by, and students) picked as their preferred pay and pension arrangements. No-one wants to be ripped off. No-one thinks what management @northumbriauni.bsky.social are doing is fair or right. Let's make it stop.

Das Ministergesetz soll in Brandenburg bei direkten Wechseln aus der Politik in die Wirtschaft Interessenkonflikte verhindern. Durch unsere Klage haben wir herausgefunden: Die Landesregierung nutzt eine Gesetzeslücke und wendet Kontrollmechanismen kaum an. fragdenstaat.de/artikel/exkl...
