We're students at Durham who'll be voting to support all industrial action in the SU referendum to back our staff and to send a message to management. ✊🚩

[UCU @ucu]

Shameful that Starmer took to the airwaves this morning to condemn workers fighting for fair pay & conditions👇

The leader of Labour should be backing staff, not bosses

We have overwhelming support from students. If he cares about them he needs to recommit to abolishing fees

[Durham UCU (@ducu.bsky.social) @ucuatdurham]

We've learned certain Durham departments, including the Business School, are undermining MAB participation by using alternate markers, who often lack adequate experience of the courses they are marking on. have been brought in to undermine colleagues participating in the MAB. 1/2

(CW: speaks on the death of Brianna Ghey, transphobia, anti-trans hate crimes and violence, fascism)

My thoughts in response to the death of Brianna Ghey.

Solidarity, liberation, and justice to the trans community, now and always 🏳️‍⚧️

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

A key Tory and Media strategy is to play worker against worker

We cannot allow that to happen. The attacks on working people cross into every sector

Watch this video to see what life is like for university workers

RT if you back the @UCU strikes

A failure to oppose tuition fees is neither progressive nor popular.
DULC joins 21 Labour Clubs and a majority of the Labour Students Committee in calling on the Shadow Cabinet to commit to tuition fee abolition and the end of marketisation in education.

Thank you to every CWU member and supporter on a picket line today.

We end 2022 undefeated.

In 2023 we win the dispute.

While many students celebrated the result, some criticised the decision to hold the vote in the first place, with postgraduate students saying the decision "tarnished" Durham Student Union's reputation.

[Morning Star @M_Star_Online]

Thousands of ambulance workers went on strike on Wednesday, in a dispute over conditions and the government’s refusal to increase pay above inflation.

Here’s what some of them had to say from picket lines across Merseyside.

A message to the public from your local postie.

#StandByYourPost

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

115,000 Posties 💌

80,000 Railway workers 🚆

100,000 Nurses 👩‍⚕️

25,000 Paramedics 🚑

100,000 Civil Servants 💼

This Christmas, workers across different sectors are fighting back not just for better pay and conditions but for better public services.

RT if you're with them 👊

[CWU @CWUnews]

From tomorrow 115,000 postal workers take their 15th and 16th days strike.

Royal Mail are making no genuine attempt to resolve the dispute and want to starve people back to work, destroy their terms and conditions and rip up a 500 year old service.

RT if you back your postie

[Tribune @tribunemagazine]

For far too long, railway workers and passengers alike have been shafted by a government hellbent on destroying our railways for the pursuit of profit. @RMTunion are fighting back - for all of us. https://t.co/REW6bZ13mc

[Sol Gamsu @SolGamsu]

Super lucky & fiercely proud of the brilliant students at Durham who campaigned for this.

It shows why you have to build solidarity betw students & workers consistently, yr on yr.

We need sustained relations & traditions of solidarity.

We can only get what we need together.

[Durham UCU (@ducu.bsky.social) @ucuatdurham]

"1498 students voted in the ‘preferendum’, with nearly 60% of all those who voted (869) voting to support all industrial action."

This is a really strong result!

Student & worker solidarity is the only way to build the system of HE that we all deserve.

Our campaign doesn't end here, this is just the beginning...
When staff are on strike next term we'll be there with them now is the time to increase pressure on management with pickets, protests and more. Together we can educate, agitate and organise against marketised education!

[DUStudents4Staff @DUStudent4Staff]

Last night we found out the results of the referendum, and student voice is clear: we support our staff
Students have voted overwhelmingly to back all industrial action and show workers at our university our full solidarity

[DUStudents4Staff @DUStudent4Staff]

We wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone involved in the campaign, and to everyone who voted
This is a decisive result that sends a clear message to management, now is the time for action!
