If you don’t vote YES, there’s no major pressure point.
✅ If you’ve voted - well done.
❌ If you haven’t - VCs see you as being on their side.
As Jo Grady said on last night’s live: we need every single vote to hit the legal threshold that’s how we win real change.

I'm voting YES on my UCU ballot for industrial action

• to call for the broken market system to change.
• to call for decent pay, conditions, and job security for all university staff.

Good God. Solidarity with everyone affected - absolutely unbelievable.
Even more so that it is being allowed to happen by those in Power, from a party I once saw as defender of the Arts. Shameful.
So we'll have to get that power back. 💪🏻
