@academicchatter Another result of the antidemocratic shenanigans by #UCU leadership: waiting until after the pensions 'victory' to reballot members meant that there was far less incentive for securely employed academics in pre-'92 institutions to return their ballots (for many such colleagues, the primary concern was #pensions).
Once again throwing the post-92, junior & precarious colleagues who are the most engaged union members under the bus.
