College management must urgently respond.
Staff cannot be expected to tolerate governance failures and falling pay.
Imperial must act now — table a fair offer and return to negotiations — to avert further industrial action next week.

A reminder that we're on strike again today -- ALL WELCOME TO JOIN US AT 11.00 at the Exhibition Road entrance for a march around campus to make some noise and show your feelings to management!
Students, colleagues, and supporters:
Join us for a 15-minute march around the South Kensington campus at 11 am today and tomorrow, starting from the Exhibition Road entrance.
Everyone’s welcome — staff, students, parents, children, pets!
We all want the same thing: a fair, well-resourced university where every worker is valued and students benefit from stable, supported staff.
That’s what this strike is about. ✊
