Cassius enjoyed meeting Jo Grady at the Swansea University UCU meeting today. Start them young and hope they don't have to go through the same nonsense as us! #ucuRISING

Bringing this absolute legend along with me to #ucuRISING picket with colleagues Swansea University UCU this morning as her school is also on strike. Going to a picket line is the best educational activity this Politics lecturer can think of.

In goes my YES vote #ucurising Swansea University UCU 👊✊💪

Bay campus picket Swansea University UCU we're here protecting the future of education at Swansea University. Fair pay and pensions aren't magically granted, we have them because unions have persistently fought for them. Supporting the strikes is how we support a fair society. Solidarity all ✊

I voted YES in the reballot. Pay, pensions, and working conditions must improve in HE. Join me in keeping up the pressure! Swansea University UCU UCU Jo Grady #ucuRISING

Feeling reinvigorated after a great day with Swansea University UCU & Jo Grady, discussing our current position in the dispute, the reality of what’s on the table & what comes next. Striking is surprisingly hard work but it feels like we’re beginning to see our efforts pay off. #ucuRISING

Seven years of studying

Only to end up on short term contracts that don’t pay the bills

Our members have no choice but to take industrial action

I have no marking responsibilities, so I just donated a portion of my PhD stipend to the Swansea University UCU MAB fund. Solidarity! You can do the same here: gofund.me/2dc76ecd

I have voted YES in the reballot because improvements in pay, pensions, and working conditions in UK HE are important, needed, and achievable. Join me in keeping up the pressure! Swansea University UCU UCU Jo Grady #ucuRISING

Update from Jo Grady of @UCU - discussing the negotiations and what's on offer. @SwanseaUCU

#FourFights #VoteYes #ucuRISING #UCUstrike

Yes, we are. As a working carer, I am unable to join my community of Swansea University UCU colleagues on the picker line but I want to say thank you to all @UCU members across the UK who are standing at those picket lines this morning.

Struggling to justify the 60 mile round trip to picket when I'm not getting paid, but very much still 'feeling the love' for #ucuRISING Swansea University UCU
