Sure, there's the US #inauguration today, but don't miss the biggest news of all: the new 2021 University League Tables are out and @Cambridge_Uni has won some big prizes! 🥇🏆 #RecognitionNow is a basic form of respect for staff.

Come on @Cambridge_Uni, don't leave it any longer to recognise @ucu. You need to negotiate responsibly & comprehensively, not pretend arcane unrepresentative bodies will do. I bet there are lots of alumni out there who agree with union recognition - RT if you do! #RecognitionNow https://twitter.com/CambridgeUCU/status/1349280789037539333

I am a member of UCU, but I'm not a member of the Regent House. Also, many issues around pay and working conditions never make it to a vote of the Regent House, or even a Discussion.
UCU needs recognition, and the power to represent me in HR and other discussions. https://twitter.com/CambridgeUCU/status/1351439752944361472

⏩DEADLINE EXTENDED!
One of the major ways you can help win #RecognitionNow is by joining the negotiating committee -- which would be an amazing experience for anyone dedicated to securing a voice for #AllofUs. Send a brief email by Sunday January 24.

How can @Cambridge_Uni claim to be a fit and proper institution, meeting #Equality #Diversity and #inclusion requirements, without recognition of staff unions?
End the archaic practices!

Colleagues at UCU University of Brighton are on strike this week to defend jobs in IT services - it is a disgrace that management are threatening the livelihoods of people whose work is central to what the university does but who often don't get recognised for the crucial role they play. We stand in solidarity with this battle and urge members to join the solidarity rally on Wednesday. We'll be making a £250 donation to the strike fund as well on behalf of the branch. ...

Attention USS members! The USS (Universities Superannuation Scheme) pension scheme is currently conducting a survey on sustainable and ethical investment.

At the moment, USS holds major investments in fossil fuels, along with sizeable interests in armaments and tobacco. It has agreed to divest from tobacco at long last, but we need to stand up for divestment from fossil fuels and armaments - and to do that, we need a BIG response to the survey.

The survey was sent out in the latest USS members' update, and you can find the link here: crweblab.com/WebProd/cgi-bin/AskiaExt.dll?Action=DoInterview&Survey=TPTKQWRTWRSHSDUT&Intvw=PDBLSU....

Make sure you fill it in, and tell your friends and colleagues too! ... See MoreSee Less

"Efforts to reopen universities in the midst of the pandemic appeared to be unravelling tonight, as three of the country’s largest universities called a halt to face-to-face teaching.

More than 80 universities in the UK have reported at least 5,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19 among students and staff, including more than 1,000 at the University of Manchester, which announced that it was suspending in-person teaching." ... See MoreSee Less
