As Southampton Uni suspends strike deductions the @rca and @pwthompson_RCA refuse to acknowledge the concerns of staff and push forward with these deductions. You cannot continue as a high fees, low wage institution anymore. The game is up! Staff and students have had enough
🚨Important update on Strike Deductions 🚨 Following pressure from @SouthamptonUCU's Dispute Committee and concerns expressed by our members, University's management has agreed to suspend Feb-Mar strike deductions that would otherwise have been taken from March's pay #COVID19

Our colleague and comrade @MichaelRosenYes is not well. A stalwart at our teach outs and a giant figure in the movement, everyone here sends him much love, solidarity & strength x teapawt.net/GoldsmithsUCU/status/9…

As the @rca & @pwthompson_RCA take full strike deductions over this pandemic they might want to note our branch membership doubled over the #ucustrike & is still rising. You can't run the college without us & we will no longer be complicit in our own exploitation.

Pushing through strike deductions at this moment of stress & worry is absolutely disgusting. Other HE institutions have delayed or scrapped them. Another example of @rca exceptionalism! Your low pay, high fees business model is broken! We will no longer be exploited in silence...

I was lucky enough to still be paid for an afternoon of teaching due to strike/Coronavirus measures coinciding (yay loophole). Decided to give back by donating to the @RcaUcu fund and receive a fantastic @peterkennardx print to boot. Get yours: opencollective.com/ucu-royal…

Hugely informative teach out about resisting and abolishing #prevent by @abolish_prevent - highlights need to speak about this racist agenda publicly, bring it up at your @ucu branch #UCUstrike

RCA UCU STRIKE. Day 12 of 14. It’s lonely on the virtual picket line but we need to address the relentless marketisation of Higher Education and put an end to casualisation, the gender and ethnicity pay gap, falling… instagram.com/p/B9mjDX8ljaP/…

Replying to @RCA
@RCA VC Paul Thompson has refused to meet with occupiers and says peaceful protest is “not a constructive way” to go about seeking change. So they’re calling a mass protest tomorrow 11am outside the Dyson building on Hester road! #UCUstrikesback @RcaUcu @RCAStudentUnion
