Every year, the UK government decides, without evidence, that #FreedomOfSpeech
in #Universities is under threat.

It's smoke & mirrors, a parlour trick to distract from real issues like the #CostOfLivingCrisis /1

#UCUstrikesBack Since today's @StrathclydeUCU strikers are participating in today's #FeministPicket I want to add a thread about the motherhood penalty and the fatherhood bonus that I mentioned at the teach in last week #IWD2020 #IWD #IWD20 /1 The motherhood penalty impacts all women - regardless of whether a woman can have or wants to have children - 40% of managers admit to discriminating against women of childbearing age #UCUstrikesBack #FeministPicket #IWD2020 #IWD #IWD20 /2 theguardian.com/money/2014/aug…

#UCUstrike After crossing the picket line, a senior academic emailed our branch office to complain that the union picketers were too noisy. I think it's time to devote a thread to say #ThanksToUnions for making lots of noise. epi.org/publication/br… #UCUfightsBack /1 #UCUstrike #ThanksToUnions for the 8 hour day and the five day work week #UCUfightsBack /2
