I've been learning a lot from teachers to have stayed in classroom for 20 plus years. There's lots that comes up but there are some things that come up more than others.

This crucial judgment confirms the interpretation many argued for all along - that the right not to be discriminated against for taking part in TU activities also covers the right to take industrial action. This applies to all @UCU members who 1/

I was also one of the signatories to this letter. Given the ICJ case, recent letters from lawyers and events this week, a response now is needed.

Look this is good news. It’s also admission Israel was not doing all it could re aid. But I can’t get over the fact that all Biden needed to do to secure this was send a mildly worded letter and didn’t while 32k Palestinians were killed, but sent it 2 days after the WCK strike
