Matthew Weait Oxford Continuing Education University of Oxford contacting his 1,400 staff to offer them jobs which they already have for even less pay than the £23 an hour they generally earn. Meanwhile, waving the Bible of Diversity and Inclusion ... #ucurising #HigherEducation
Yes. One of the difficulties of holding University of Oxford to account (and other organisations I suspect) is that you have wade through endless ‘wellbeing’ type guff which is simply being used as a smokescreen to hide bullying type behaviour.
Huge thanks to Oxford UCU Oxford UCU Anti-Casualisation Network This means so much to Rebecca Abrams and me. I just had no idea how far University of Oxford would go to shut us up. Thanks also to Law for Change Leigh Day #ucurising #ubersisation #HigherEducation #Whistleblower
Did University of Oxford really think it could simply ignore the court ruling on employee status, retaliate against the whistleblowers and pretend the ruling didn't apply to anyone other than the claimants?
Extraordinary behaviour.
This morning we hosted Sally Bayley and Eleonora Maio at Wolfson College, Oxford for a talk about Sally’s third book The Green Lady - an excellent event, the video will be on our website soon.
Today EGM of Oxford UCU Oxford UCU Anti-Casualisation Network asking for 'Solidarity for the Oxford Whistleblowers.' Since this case, our work has been cut and we have been subject to other intimidating behaviour. If you are able to vote please do! #ucurising Rebecca Abrams

University of Oxford racing to move hundreds of tutors onto employment contracts but *still* refusing to acknowledge that our victory at the ET affects hundreds of teachers at Oxford beside Alice Jolly and myself. Can’t imagine what’s holding them back 🧐 #oxfordUCU #HigherEducation
Where would our tragic country be without Private Eye Magazine About time someone pointed out that universities are sacking staff while spending eye watering sums on new buildings. What are they going to put in those buildings when they have axed everyone? #ucurising #uberisation
