Day two of the strike, and we've ben getting a lot of questions from students about the action. What's it for, why are we doing it now, and how can they help. So let's run through some Strike Questions! 🧵

Also, while we're talking about our strike, a lot of students have been asking how they can support us (being fully aware of who actually has their backs in this uni), and what it means to cross (or not cross) a picket line in this case. We'll defer here to our excellent Instagram team on this one.

Very proud as UCUC treasurer to have authorized a payment of £500 to the Good Law Project today!

Mgt just refuses to call off compulsory redundancies, saying they want to prioritise “voluntary” severance. This is a classic risk aversion dilemma—the more people believe the Uni will sack them anyway, the more likely they are to take the VS £ although they’d rather stay. That’s not voluntary!

Great turnout today on @ducu.bsky.social pickets. On strike to protect professional services staff jobs. An attack on one is an attack on all! Management tried to pit academics against professional services staff - they've failed! We are all the university!

ON STRIKE as a member of Durham UCU in response to Durham University management’s proposed staff cuts of £20m. University management has refused DUCU requests to stop compulsory redundancies & to work with us to find non-staff cost savings. Sign the petition: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

On my way home from Warwick Law School, talking about the politicisation of child safeguarding, racist folk devils and the ‘soft’ power of the State. Much more organising to do against the racist policing of Black young people and their communities under the guise of safeguarding

“Pine Grove (fire camp) carries on this unique legacy of labor exploitation, employing teenage boys and young men — many of whom have been incarcerated for a significant portion of their youth — to do life-threatening work that serves communities they haven’t had a chance to be part of as adults.”

Really recommend this book for all social workers - story of Malik Al Nasir’s journey through our broken care system & his friendship with & mentoring from Gill Scott-Heron. It’s a wild ride & a powerful reminder of what care really looks like. Essential reading for social work students!
