Looking forward to joining colleagues on picket lines tomorrow (I’ve been on strike - just not able to be there in person….) Wish we weren’t having to do this, but uni management need to back down on the ‘unprecedented cuts’ & ‘cultural vandalism’, which are forecast to mean c.1800 jobs going at UoE

The UK ended its participation in the scheme in 2020 after agreeing a Brexit deal with the EU.

Amazing to see the turnout from staff, students, and supporters alike, who braved the cold to ask for changes in the broken funding model in HE; and to preserve jobs. Cold but worth it.
