Used my energy for the day visiting the nearest @ucu @aberdeen_ucu picket line with Dr Blinky in support of their ongoing #Strikes 👊🏻💪🏻

Sadly #royalmailstrikes had packed up by the time i was on my way back so i couldn't say hello👋🏻

#Solidarity #StrongerTogether #JoinAUnion

Got too excited seeing people, this 1 hour at a picket has been the most socialising and energetic thing ive done in 20 months. Already feeling the effects, but so nice to see folk and show solidarity to the first #union i ever joined (even though im no longer a member)

The work unions do benefit all of us. Employers want your labour, workers want to have a life outside of work.

If you like your holiday pay, sick pay, parental leave, maximum work hours, minimum wage, pensions, safety at work etc, then you support unions.

Dont fall for divide and rule tactics; employers care only for your labour. Unions are made of us, the workers, we define the unions. So get involved 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙌🏻

Oh just realised the current hashtag is #UCURising #UCUstrike #UCU

Solidarity my friends in #AcademicTwitter (which includes more than academic staff - library staff, IT, lab techs etc all make unis run!)
