Dear Glasgow,
Thank you so much to the literally hundreds (!) of you who signed up to my public lecture next week (do pubs in Glasgow not open on Monday?). Unfortunately, I have some sad news.
Due to the upcoming @ucu strike action, the public lecture will no longer take place.

Due to the upcoming @ucu strike action, the public lecture will no longer take place.
The Union representing employees at over sixty UK universities across the country voted overwhelmingly for eight days of strike action precisely when I was due to be in Glasgow teaching.
The vote took place and the dates were selected after the public lecture was scheduled.

As a Visiting Professor at @UniStrathclyde I'm not a member of the @ucu, but strongly support the right of their Members or organize and lobby for better pay and conditions.

I really do apologize for anyone who is inconvenienced by this last minute cancellation. I was hugely looking forward to spending some time in your wonderful city and meeting you all.
