Today 70,000 UCU members begin historic strike action across every university in the UK.
 
Given we get pay docked and we all are experiencing a cost of living crisis we are not doing this lightly.

Stand with us.

Biggest ever university strike begins in fight over pay, pensions & conditions

Over 70,000 staff at 150 universities across the UK begin three days of strike action over attacks on pay, working conditions and pensions. The strike is the biggest in the history of higher education and UCU is predicting historic turnout on its picket lines.

If you're new, and even if you aren't, we have a precious thing here.

This is an ad-free platform that isn't designed to make money and doesn't use algorithms that promote provocative content in an attempt to boost "engagement."

But it's not free. It costs money to run, and sometimes the people who run the servers dig into their own pockets.

So please go to your server's "about" page (the link is there, somewhere) and make a donation. Make it a monthly one.

Thank you.

Exactly.

In what scenario is an 18+ photo ID not valid when the exact same photo ID for someone 60+ is?

Oh, in a Tory-voters-only general election!

Of course.

This blatant attempt by the Tories to stop young people voting will cost a fortune.

These disgraceful plans are discriminatory and undermine our democracy. https://twitter.com/electoralreform/status/1593226949819650049
