BREAKING! Students have occupied the lecture block on Sidgwick site of @Cambridge_Uni in solidarity with our #UCUstrike. More details coming soon. We stand together as striking staff and students to defend education!
⚡️HUGE MARCH ON @Cambridge_Uni ⚡️ after record-breaking turnout for our pickets and rally, we marched to Old Schools to demand management open their eyes and see that we can’t carry on like this
We are marching on @Cambridge_Uni to demand #Justice4CollegeSupervisors, because this world-class education is overwhelmingly delivered by precarious staff, many of whom aren’t even paid the minimum wage for their work
Cambridge UCU is in total solidarity with Dr Gopal @PriyamvadaGopal, tireless campaigner against racism, both in the university and the wider world. You can buy her book here versobooks.com/books/3155-ins…
Important announcement: @Cambridge_Uni invites @ucu
to submit formal claim for recognition. This step forward is the result of the combined pressure from national strikes and local campaigning. ucu.cam.ac.uk/strikes-yield-…
🗣️ WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF ACHIEVING RECOGNITION! 🗣️
After two years of negotiations, we are about to get recognised by the @Cambridge_Uni for all our bargaining groups (academic, academic-related, and research staff).
It has been a hard fight - 🧵
Here's our statement on Arundhati Roy pulling out of the Clark Lecture at Trinity College due to the ongoing academic boycott following it's decision to leave USS last year
It's tremendous gesture of support, and we’re hugely grateful to her for taking such a difficult decision
UPDATE: Swingeing pay cuts for not rescheduling classes as part of ASOS are NOT going ahead. @Cambridge_Uni has backed down after protests from staff and students. Our motion showed we wouldn't be bullied and our members organised to push back. We can beat this attack.
