We are deeply concerned at this wholly political attack on our colleague and @UCUScotland officer, Professor Kate Sang. We are further concerned by the public response of @UKRI_CEO which shows no respect for Professor Sang's privacy or rights. Officers will meet soon to respond

BBC reporting that the current UK govt is going to water down its net-zero policies by - falsely - claiming that it "has over-delivered on confronting climate change" No one - the CCC, IPCC, UN, scientists - has ever claimed that. Quite the opposite https://t.co/L98JIZABzh

It seems Laing O’Rourke are not actually banning OPC but just using more cement replacements highlighting use of GGBS and PFA. https://t.co/W2ILx90vyy. There are so many ways to reduce the impact of concrete, like using less, or using unconstrained cement alternatives like /1

Noticed that pro-climate-action accounts were stagnating or shrinking, and that denier accounts seemed to be ballooning. So - I checked, with some help, and....yep. Elon Musk has made Twitter into a safe space for pro-fossil fuel disinformation. A 🧵 https://t.co/VacwRrVQ3Q

This image from today's IPCC synthesis report is brutal. The existing policy trajectory represents a profound failure of our governments, and of our international political system. We need much more aggressive mitigation and much stronger international cooperation.

I hope employers are ready to do serious negotiating After fighting over successive years, our members will not be fooled by pretty words or old rope. We will accept no less than real change On casualisation On pay gaps On workloads And yes on pay too! #ucuRISING #acceptNoLess

Another day on the picket. We are still here. Different day, same asks. We still want our pension back We won't accept being paid less every year. We would like the pay gaps closed. We want workloads that are manageable and jobs that are secure. Please and thanks #ucuRising 🦖🐩
