Great start to 14 days of action yesterday. Rallies of 5-600 in many big institutions and loads of student support.
BBC couldn’t avoid reflecting that and filmed the rally and a “teach out” English lecturers organised in a pub in their Newcastle coverage.
I’m not in that pension scheme, nor are Unis like mine involved in the strikes but we’ll gain from any victory this achieves, and the union gained 5000+ members in the run-up.
So much for militant strike action being an unpopular thing of the past.
