@PolitlcsUK It's called the politics of distraction. It's a media tactic. Noone gives a fuck if she takes a day off, we care that she supports policies that are impoverishing millions. We see what the media are doing.

@ucu You can enhance the voice quality and cut the background noise in programs like Canva now very easily. The audio quality makes this very inaccessible 😓

1/ 📣 Sussex PGRs and academics! 📣
First the good news: Just 15 minutes after our post, the University reached out to schedule a meeting with our PGR Execs. But today we learned we will not receive an offer at that meeting! After *5 months* of waiting, all we get is more delay.

A reminder we'll be holding an Emergency General Meeting today at 11am. Check your emails.
Our goal has always been to improve our pay and working conditions for all staff at the university. While we have not seen the wins nationally the sector needs in this year’s dispute... 1/7

[Take Back Sussex @takebacksussex]

This is a disgraceful move by @SussexUni! Treating its staff as disposable! Sign below, don't allow universities to violate their own policies!

We're supporting @SussexUnison on day 2 of their strike. This is a joined fight on pay and working conditions! We stand behind our Unison colleagues #RisingTogetherForBetterPay

[UNISON - University of Sussex @SussexUnison]

The picket is growing! Our second day of strike action is off to a strong start. @UNISONinHE @UNISONSE #RisingTogetherForBetterPay

[Sussex UCU @sussexucu]

UCU members joined our Unison comrades on the picket line today. Big shout out to Unison organisers who smashed the picket! #RisingTogetherForBetterPay

[Take Back Sussex @takebacksussex]

What a great picket today! Dozens came out to show @UCEA1 we won't back down! Great to see @SussexUnison staff out fighting for the future of HE! #EnoughIsEnough

[UNISON - University of Sussex @SussexUnison]

Wow what a fantastic turnout for our Day 1 strike action over HE pay. We have had over a decade of real-terms pay cuts. By delivering decent staff pay, you deliver a better experience for students. @UNISONinHE @UNISONinHE #RisingTogetherForBetterPay

[Take Back Sussex @takebacksussex]

Solidarity to our comrades @SussexUnison and a special shout out to the organizers and everyone who came out to show support! ✊🔥 #SettleTheDispute

[UNISON - University of Sussex @SussexUnison]

We're ready on our pickets for 2 days of strike action over pay in Higher Education. With RPI at 10.2% there's only so much workers can continue to absorb. It's time for fair pay.
