HAVE YOU VOTED IN THE NEC ELECTIONS?

Dog bumped into their old mate, Puppy.

Puppy told Dog only 12% of UCU members vote in the NEC elections.

12% is not good enough!

This is why Dog is now texting all their friends reminding them to vote.

Be like Dog. TEXT YOUR FRIENDS!

"They’re [lecturers] not being listened to, the students aren’t benefiting but the people who are being paid such high amounts aren’t responding."

Students in Leeds tell @cathynewman why they support their teachers going on strike.
