Superb Rally Against Redundancies at the University of Leicester, with hundreds of staff, students and supporters. Leicester UCU begins its strike on Monday.
This is coming up tomorrow.
Visiting @UoNUCU picket lines this morning.
Joseph Choonara retweeted
To be clear, our strike is still on. After hearing this news, union representatives reached out to the university again demanding that compulsory redundancies for our members be suspended. They declined to remove this threat.

Leicester UCU will be on strike from Monday 29 September until Friday 17 October.
A strong vote for strike action, and a big turnout, for @leicesterucu, especially in an August ballot. Let's see if @uniofleicester now withdraw the threat of compulsory redundancies and end the dispute. #CitizensOfChange

The university sent out a news bulletin today and it made some... uh... interesting claims. 🧵

Our statement on the Labour government’s escalating authoritarian crackdown on the Palestine solidarity movement. We will not be silenced. We are the majority. We urge you to join us on the streets of London next Saturday (19 July) and march for Palestine.
I wrote a piece in response to recent articles in Jacobin, by Hanna Goldberg and others, on Mike Kidron and the theory of the permanent arms economy. Sadly, Jacobin weren't interested, but you can read it here: researchgate.net/publication/39…
