| 1638472015479730176 | I've received several emails since graduating at @QMUL asking me to donate. I seem to remember handing over tens of thousands of pounds for tuition which hasn't been fairly distributed to the staff who taught me? I'll be donating to the @qm_ucu strike fund, though. #solidarity | 75 |
| 1639557312003047427 | If @QMUL get away with this then it will set an absolutely terrifying precedent for *all* sectors, not just our own. If you withdraw labour for six days then you’re not paid for those six days, which means if you’re forced to do it anyway then all that labour is *unpaid* https://t.co/hRsJWM7zwh | 64 |
| 1639258006369050632 | Every worker in the UK needs to stand with our members at @QMUL Withholding 26 days of pay for 6 days of strike action is disgraceful, vindictive behaviour This has no place in a democracy Support @qm_ucu. Donate to their strike fund: https://t.co/UnxKNUQqbU #ucuRISING https://t.co/1PqR59rzfq | 50 |
| 1639558556050509824 | Are you meant to visit @QMUL as a speaker or external examiner or in any other capacity? Please DO NOT GO until this scandal is corrected. The entire academic community must stand against the mistreatment of our friends at Queen Mary https://t.co/OwUXZO8SPX | 44 |
| 1638858507045818372 | This is a really good idea. As an alumnus of @QMUL, every time you send me an alumni email asking for money, I am going to donate to the @qm_ucu hardship fund, until you stop threatening them with punitive deductions. https://t.co/R6tatjK31X | 35 |
| 1638901387365949440 | Beyond enraged that QMUL snr management claims they are taking this punitive action - deducting 26 (!) days of pay from staff who participated in 6 days of strike action - on *MY* behalf as a student at this university. @QMUL What are these staff supposed to live on for a month? https://t.co/5IMrIXYYtH | 34 |

| 1638174444496592896 | This morning I visited the @qm_ucu picket line and talked to staff who are facing continuing threats of 100% pay deductions. I hope that the senior management of @QMUL withdraws the deductions policy and a resolution is forthcoming. Solidarity ✊🏽 https://t.co/LVVvZ1DEmx | 29 |
| 1639338491132751872 | I hope @ucu are backing all @qm_ucu staff affected by this We need full UCU support for legal claims and hardship fund - no members or branches should be left to fight these unlawful attacks alone @QMUL https://t.co/iGCMJlsSKy | 24 |
| 1639185898695737345 | Many of our members now rely on food banks. The imposed payrise was a paycut. What else would we do if we weren’t balloting?

| 1638877309280083973 | We do not take this decision lightly – the thoughtful and lengthy exchange of ideas showed that. But we have always been clear that we will not let bullying go unchallenged, nor will allow @QMUL to set a dangerous precedent in undermining the right of association. | 92 |
