S3E4: The UCU strikes wit Kat Almeida Warren and Ilse Pit

ReproducibiliTea Podcast

! Important Update ! Since recording, UCU have announced that they will "ringfence £250,000 for members facing deductions for undertaking forms of ASOS, including the marking and assessment boycott." This is reassuring news for workers at universities where the VCs have threatened 50-100% pay deductions. But still no new offers from employers. Today, Sophia and Jan are sitting down with @IlsePit(@fediscience.org) and @KatarinaWarren (k-almeidawarren.com) to chat about the ongoing UCU strikes in the UK, and how it is for ECRs to take industrial actions. "The University and College Union (UCU) represents over 120,000 academics, lecturers, trainers, instructors, researchers, managers, administrators, computer staff, librarians, technicians, professional staff and postgraduates in universities, colleges, prisons, adult education and training organisations across the UK" (https://www.ucu.org.uk/article/1685/About-UCU) You can support the UCU here: https://www.ucu.org.uk/ For more info go to https://ReproducibiliTea.org For comments, questions, tips and tricks use our feedback form: forms.gle/H6jgUzbbpyauLxUC8
