Thank you to everyone who joined the pickets, march and rally yesterday for a huge day of action across Cambridge! UCU members do not forget to vote online to ❌REJECT❌ the latest paltry pay offer from UCEA. Yesterday we showed that we have the numbers to win a better deal ⚡️⚡️

"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.
