Shifting the blame onto government policy can't hide University of Lincoln, UK's blatant financial mismanagement.

Cutting 220 jobs is unacceptable. Our members are clear, cancel the cuts or face a strike ballot.

I had a great time on Saturday over at the UCU's first Workload Conference. It was great to speak with other reps from across HE, FE, Adult and Prison Ed about our experiences and positive actions other branches have taken to secure a safe working environment.

Happy to be at the UCU workload conference in sunny(!) Manchester. As a casualised member, my biggest workload burden is having to do tons of unpaid work just to get another job!

The current pay offer is paltry. UCU members deserve better ✊

'we call upon management to reconsider its position and get around the table and to finally put a sensible offer forward that will end this dispute'
