If marking is so time consuming it merits 100% pay deductions why does
@sheffhallamuni
only pay its academics for 22.5 minutes per student per 10 credit module to set, mark and moderate assessments.
Is it
A) they underpay staff ?
B) deductions are disproportionate?
Or
C) both?

Dear

There’s a tsunami coming. We will witness many deaths. For some of us, these will be personal loses.
Managers cheerleading ‘innovative’ LTA, emailing long lists of new jobs, are failing in their duty of care.
We’ll do our best to function. That’s it.

Cheers to UCU Vice President Vicky Blake for reiterating a vital message: be sure to both take your annual leave. It’s YOUR time not your employer’s. It’s not your job to be checking emails, picking up calls etc. Nothing is as important as YOUR RIGHT TO REST AND RECREATION 👊👊🏿👊🏽
Annual leave. Holidays. How many of us work during them anyway, even if with a rueful sigh. Please see this example to us all from

Strikes are not emotionally or intellectually comfortable experiences. The nature of a strike is confrontation. Strikes also nourish growth, not despite but because of this. We’re committed to honest, inclusive dialogue with one another to this end: growth.
