I'm an international postgrad student and it's heartwarming and full of hope seeing how everyone come together to fight for justice. Saddening and maddening as well seeing how injustice prevail despite being in the 'world class university'. Back where I came from, it's really uncommon for lecturers and staffs and students to unite and actually have a 'political' say in anything. Really grateful to be here and taking part in this. Sending my big respect and prayer for everyone striking; stay safe and warm! Let's win this! SOLIDARITY!

# data[].attributes.body
Sending support and solidarity to all of you striking!
Your work is our education, and everything you do for us every day not only helps us students but also creates a better world. And for that you deserve not only our thanks but equal & better pay, good pensions, job security, and a healthy workload and working environment.
Keep fighting and good luck this week!
- E (UoL student)

Join UCU online today >

UCU is the largest post-school union in the world. We cover universities, colleges, prisons, adult education and other post-16 training providers and our membership includes academics, lecturers, teachers, trainers, instructors, researchers, administrators, managers, computer staff, librarians, postgraduate teaching assistants and other education professionals.

We understand the work that you do and our size and specialist nature mean that government and employers listen to us when we represent your views.

In further education, if you are a teacher or lecturer and/or you are directly involved with scheduled teaching or other curriculum delivery then UCU is the union for you.

In higher education we are the specialist recognised union for academic and academic-related staff (such as managers, senior administrators, computing, library and other professional staff) in pre-92 universities and for academic staff in post-92 institutions.

While our rules allow UCU to recruit those in qualifying employment, UCU works closely with our sister trade unions and we do not actively seek to recruit members of other unions or in areas where we have no legitimate interest. Wherever you work we recommend you join a union. If in doubt about the right union for you contact UCU and we will advise you of the right organisation for you.

If you teach you may want to use these these slides to give students a quick overview of about UCU, the dispute and the industrial action.
