Hearing from colleagues on Fixed-Term Contracts, including how they have to double check every single detail of their contract because HR doesn't have their best interest at heart and will use any detail against them when challenged. WHILE THEY HAVE NO EXPERTISE IN HR.
Our Fixed-Term Contracts working group has garnered data & testimonies that show the increasing misuse of Fixed-Term Contracts at QMUL. Based on that work they offer concrete interventions that put halt to deteriorating conditions Blogpost & full report: https://t.co/Fl0GwckFwV

Tutors at SOAS have refused to mark en masse & have currently disrupted over 4100 assessments 💪 Unsurprisingly, management has refused to negotiate & is instead contacting other UK unis in to recruit a network of scabs ⚠️*DO NOT accept marking work coming from SOAS* ‼️

Don't cross the picket line!
If you're being approached by SOAS to do marking, be aware that the SOAS tutors are on a marking boycott & you're being asked to scab mark (managers don't feel they should be transparent about it) hardship fund: https://t.co/VFZmm6pZnL template motion:

Another massive picket outside @UniStrathclyde today in defiance against SMT pinching their pension in order to cover up their failings. Go visit them, show your support.
