KCL UCU is balloting!
@KCL_UCU
King's College London @UCU branch. Our members only want to use this platform for important annoucements. Join us over on the blue butterfly for conversation!
- BREAKING! We reached an agreement with @KingsCollegeLon on the statement below on #USS. Key points: - no need for contribution rises - we can and should protect existing benefits - governance reform - divest fossil fuels kcl.web.ucu.org.uk #OneOfUsAllOfUs
- We're shocked to hear that another @KingsCollegeLon alumnus-Dr Adnan Al-Bursh, head of orthopaedics at Al Shifa Hospital-was killed in an Israeli prison after +4 months of detention & torture. How long will KCL refuse to condemn Israel's genocide in Gaza & to stop its complicity?Dr Adnan Al-Bursh. Murdered by the Israeli army while in detension.
- BREAKING! Today an overwhelming majority at our Gen Meeting passed a motion of no-confidence in @KingsCollegeLon Chairman Lord Geidt for his role of adviser for arms company BAE Systems, widely accused of war crimes & passed a motion in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle
- Our first rally at the Strand! This is just the Beginning!! Thank you all for the support. ❤️✊🏾
- BREAKING: under pressure from our branch KCL management has reduced the limit of punitive 50% deduction from 20 to 10 days: the max deduction is now 5 days of salary. While we reserve the right to respond, this shows that collective action works! Let’s keep up the pressure! ✊🏼
- BREAKING: @KingsCollegeLon is devaluing students’ degrees using emergency regs “to allow progression/award where performance is prevented by events which may be beyond the control of the College.” But examiners’ resignations aren’t beyond its control but because of its decisions!
- KCL President @ewanmcg and Neil Davies @Bristol_UCU win a crucial legal battle in their case against USS and the USS Directors. The USS deficit is democratic not economic. We will stop the pension theft! #OneOfUsAllOfUs
00:00 - Wonderful results! 64.5% turn out at Kings. 81.8% yes to strike, 90% yes to action short of strike. Well done everyone, see you on the picket line! #uss #fightforuss ucu.org.uk/media/11940/Ki…
- Join us for a vigil in memory of Dr. Adnan al-Bursh, Head of Orthopaedics at al-Shifa Hospital, who was tortured & killed in an Israeli prison. He had trained at Kings Hospital. We’ll be joined by surgeons @GhassanAbuSitt1 & Dr Graeme Groom who worked in Gaza & knew Dr. al-Bursh.
- Sky News came to KCL UCU pickets today. And we gave a message to every employer: 📈reverse the 30% real pay cuts since 2010 + restore pensions 🟰end the 18% gender + race pay gaps, now 🎓stop forcing staff to reapply for their jobs every year 🗳️make our universities democratic
00:00 - A message of solidarity from @amazonlabor Chris Smalls to @ucu members: stay strong, stay resilient, continue fighting on! ✊🏽♥️@Shut_downAmazon
