Strike strike baby!

Much of UK higher education (#UKHE) is on #strike today for a lot of reasons. The simplest to explain is that pay has declined in real terms for like 15 years or something and now during a #CostOfLivingCrisis employers are continuing to offer numerical salary increases which are actually decreases when you take into account #inflation. This happens as #universities continue to pursue a #corporate org structure which deprioritises research and education.
